这个动态光装置的灵感来自于冲突可以作为驱动力的概念。二元性的概念在装置的无色调配色方案、结构和形式中得到了体现。
装置的主要元素是16个几乎平坦的圆盘，每个圆盘都有两个相对面：一个明亮的一面和一个黑暗的一面。这两个对立面不断地相互“决斗”，它们试图接近彼此，而最终的结果却是持续的三维旋转。人们可以从这个运动中看到一个硬币在空中翻转的特征扭曲和回旋。 色子已经被扔出去了，但比赛还没有结束。
圆盘穿过空气的运动创造了一个经过编排的场景，光影在空间中移动，这是两个相反但又相互关联的原则之间对抗的副产品。
Duel装置于2019年7月27日至28日在圣彼得堡的Present Perfect Festival中的一家独立工厂空间首次展示。16个电机驱动的灯光元素被固定在30米长的结构上，该结构组装成一个抛物线的形状，然后由自定义软件进行平滑同步运动。

This kinetic light installation takes inspiration from the idea that conflict can act as a driving force. The concept of duality finds expression in the installation’s achromatic color scheme, as well as in its construction and form.
The installation’s main elements are 16 discs, all nearly flat and each with two opposite sides: one light and one dark. The opposites are in a constant state of “dueling” with each other, and all their attempts to reach one another instead result in continuous three-dimensional rotation. One recognizes in this movement the characteristic twists and turns of a coin that has been tossed into the air. The die has been cast, but the contest has not been decided yet.
The discs’ movement through the air creates choreographed scenes with lights and shadows moving across space—the byproduct of a confrontation between two opposite and yet interconnected principles.
The installation Duel was first presented on July 27-28, 2019 at the Present Perfect Festival in St. Petersburg in a separate space of the former factory. 16 motorized light elements were fixed to a 30-meter-long structure that was assembled in the form of a parabola and then driven in a smooth synchronous movement by custom software.
