Violetta Vigh is a Budapest-based artist with a Master's in Media Design. Through installation, moving image, and performance, she aims to reassess the competitive mindset of industrial modernity and technological progress. Playful in tone, her works connect personal dilemmas with universal experiences. She is particularly interested in research-based projects that investigate sociological and scientific themes from an archaeological lens. Recently, she has focused on Meteorology to seek new perspectives on the ecological crisis.
Observatory Garden features three classical weather instrument shelters, but instead of housing measuring devices, an artificial storm rages inside. The installation suggests that the act of measurement itself can influence the system being observed, as much as it underscores the subjectivity inherent in our understanding of complex processes like weather.
The inner mechanisms are detached from the outer world, much like our beliefs guiding us. By reducing atmospheric phenomena to "good" or "bad" weather, the installation reflects humanity's desire for order and predictability, while also acknowledging that our attitudes toward unpredictability are the only things we can hope to control.
