Windows explores the “monitor effect” through the metaphor of the window, treating the monitor as a threshold between interior and exterior, observer and observed. The work examines the mutuality and two-directionality of looking, suggesting that every act of seeing also implies the possibility of being seen. The first window, evoking a Gothic stained-glass frame, transforms projected colours into a kaleidoscopic colour-space in which sacred and everyday modes of perception overlap, while text and sound introduce the tension between openness and completion. The second window, based on an ornamental window of the Sas Palace in Nagyvárad, replaces the kaleidoscopic rosette with a grid structure that emphasizes reflection, memory, and temporal displacement. Through the commands “Let the bird out” and “Come back, bird,” the work activates a movement between black-and-white and colour, inside and outside, virtual and non-virtual. In this way, the bird becomes a metaphor for communication itself, while the installation as a whole proposes what Zoltán Veres describes as a “silence-architecture,” where visual, textual, and acoustic elements continuously redefine one another.
