Frank Gerlitzki's art is conceptual. His subjects are about communication, opening and creating contact. His idea for this installation was simply inspired by the space of EMG Art Center.

 Six stone columns as landmark are spread among the central cross-formed part of the Art Center. Light, translucent curtains hang waving on the ceiling, forming a geometric landscape in form of a labyrinth. The curtains are slightly moved by the wind and some artificial fog leaves the visitor alone in a meditative atmosphere which suggests a mysterious virgin forest. The whole installation is like a giant brain, and the visitor is passing through a brain's labyrinth where activity and reflection (thinking) gets connected. That's why this installation is called "connections". 

And that's probably the power of art which connects the unrelated things and changes a cold and broken world into a home filled with love and beauty. On the other side, activities in the space are troubled by the curtains, the sound of machines, voices and other people crossing it. The daily routine is broken down and the stereotype of thinking is shattered, the vrain is full of troubles. That's different kind of mystery in Frank's installation.
