The site-specific installation "Cells_02" consists of an oversized, down and feather screen on which the 2D animation is projected. Thus, the entire space is flooded by overgrown floating cells. In the installation "Cells_02", the "laboratory" becomes autonomous, the artist abandoning control and proposing the idea of a predetermined dissolution. The 2D animation "Cells Matrix" designed by Alina Aldea in 2020 is the result of a series of drawings created in previous years. Alina Aldea confessed about this project: " "Cells" evokes the broad microscopic organic universe and brings it into a visible perspective. The images can be interpreted, as a result of laboratory experiments which also imply the human observer. When arranged in a matrix, cells invoke the idea of control and systemic predetermination where random occurrences seem impossible. The choice for using spherical shapes is not accidental: the sphere is considered the form which most closely approaches perfection but is consigned naturally to approximation. "Cells" becomes the study of alienation in possible research trajectories. The drawn cells have been translated into an animated video language to emphasize and emulate the living organism."
