At the heart of Hagelaar's conceptual framework lies a profound integration of physics into the essence of 'living' creations. His installations, teeming with kinetic energy or choreographed chemical reactions, serve as conduits for shared encounters, celebrating the allure of chance and the allure of unexpected phenomena. Enigmatic forces such as light, gravity, and air intertwine seamlessly within Hagelaar's narrative, enriching the sensory tapestry woven within his immersive installations.
In the ethereal realm of Current Fluid Installation, Hagelaar unveils a tableau vivant, where water and electricity engage in a sublime pas de deux. Each droplet, a transient conduit of energy, traces an ephemeral path along meticulously crafted aluminum conduits, culminating in a crescendo of illumination as it makes contact with the luminous azure bulb. Here, water defies its traditional dichotomy with electricity, seamlessly melding into the electric circuitry, embodying a harmonious coalescence of seemingly disparate elements.
Through Current Fluid Installation, Hagelaar beckons us to embark on a voyage of discovery, where the boundaries between art and science blur, and the ordinary transcends into the extraordinary. In the fluid currents of his creation, we find not only a celebration of innovation but also an invitation to perceive the world through a lens of wonder and possibility.
