The art object "Cosmos" (1975) by Viacheslav Koleichuk from the collection of the Museum is assigned to the period when master created "self-erected" and "instant-hard" constructions as the artist himself called them. Apparent simplicity is achieved here due to a mathematically adjusted location of details in the object. The parabolic concave mirror of round shape reminds of a model of the universe with floating pieces made from transparent glass – the lens in the shape of a circle and glass rods. This art object is created in the tradition of mobiles by Rodchenko and Alexander Calder. Koleichuk is experimenting with optical effects emerging through the interaction of the mirror surface and glass elements. The master places geometric figures deliberately in the space with consideration for a factor of movement of these elements. The refracting light rays looming up as a result of this reflection are being taken as a mirage.
