Exploring the boundary between the real and the virtual, the quadrilogy The Abstract Films—Yellow Film, Black & White Film, Red Film and Blue Film (2023–2025)—invites audiences to engage in an interactive and immersive experience. Defined by a minimalist aesthetic shaped by geometric forms and electronic music, the works unfold through non-linear, ever-changing structures. Each film features a different mode of interaction, ranging from the manipulation of physical objects to choices generated by AI.
