Zurab Arabidze’s multimedia project Lost Signal Tracking is a conceptual abstraction. The large-scale installation is built on the extension of object and space connections and occurs as existential metaphor. The viewer follows the dramaturgically developed exposition and successively stops in a tense, supportless space where there are only hints of the impermanent and the eternal, faces the wall of totalitarianism, then moves into a field of technological progress which is full of dangers and as if continues to search for a lost signal with accompanying psycho-emotional moods. Lost Signal Tracking continues such an important topic of contemporary art history as the conditionality of systems and their analytical criticism along with the search for artistic correspondences. Zurab Arabidze’s artistic experience is based on the theme of the minimalist form’s relationship with space and its connections with different states, primary meanings. His art is concise and clear, sometimes characterized by a heavy severity where the symbols of barrier or wall and unpredictable, almost surreal exposure are important. Zurab Arabidze is an artist whose oeuvre display precise links between materials, geometric forms, natural energies and video or photo images. Lost Signal Tracking is an interactive project that is carried out only with the participation of the viewer.
