Erlich’s installations subject the viewer to paradoxical situations where reality and virtuality merge, inciting, through simulations, scenographic strategies and optical effects, contradictory perceptions. The sense of dislocation that his work tends to generate in viewers subverts the notion of reality as apparent truth and serves as a distinct reminder that the parameters of the perceptual world in which we operate are far more limited than we think.
In 'Silver boat', the sculpture and its reflection become a single object, generating a continuity in the image that is only altered by the reproduction of the waves. Through this, the artist generates a glitch, a distortion in the continuity of this double image.
