... Lightning draws attention to the culminating point and the main mark of this consciousness of being in the centre of the sound progress of thunder. Lightning can take place at any moment once it has been announced by the typical rumbling of thunder : its appearance is assertive as the conclusion of the wait that results. It appears as a mark and as a tranquilliser for the existential anxiety in the objects that Costis shows us today, that I wouldnt hesitate to call philosophical objects or rather existential. Lightning is very clearly appointed as an ontological phenomenon. Non-being has repercussions on the «self» and all the skills of the artist lie in his ingenuousness in catching this delicate moment where everything happens when the lightning takes place by flashing its light.
«"Eclat-Eclair" (Light-Lightning): is the title of Costis last poem which illustrates by a clairvoyance with no appeal the notion of availability of the being to identify at the most acute moment of consciousness. This is really an existential exercise in the most mental and spiritual sense of the term.
The phenomenon reflects very deeply a secular morality at a human scale : gymnastics of the being and the electric field, which means the electric nature of the universe. What Costis tries to prove through the different devices of his creation, is this possibility at the same time undetermined and endless to which the nature of the sky and of the earth sends us to : the revelation of ourselves.
All of Costis art lies in this moment of truth more organic than nature itself which he offers to everyone of us, it is the space of a glance toward the sky. Because in these electronic machines, that Costis uses in his works, there isnt only the presence of lightning, there is also an implied corollary, the reference to the sky and to our vision, a sky with no dimensional limit that can be resumed in the line of lightning between a cathode and an anode, two electric reference points...
...Costis demonstration presents as an exhibition of philosophical objects whose presence have the ultimate justification of enticing us to think about the double valence of the alchemic fire which is at the same time simple and fearsome. It is a way of making us witness the permanent victory of life versus death and of light versus ashes of shade. The electric field has delivered its secret.
