Time Fragments
The concept of the project <laquo; Time Scratches»
In the state of the present, <laquo; self-replicating& raquao; and & laquao; not the host of the ni x which future& raquao; (B Groys), the continuity of the normal cycles is particularly visible. We do what we do every day, and then the next day it all goes back to the original state. This loop creates a feeling of frozen real, where any achievement here is also numb. Such a strange form of time: time is private, domestic, personal, repeated, useless. It’s filled with anxiety, attention to everyday details, small things requiring concentration on you, and not leaves room for big plans. For a long time, — historical, political — has gone off with rhythm and has changed to yield to prognosis. But the little time, the time of our body, and the time of our kitchen, continues to tick with the scary precision.
The concept of the video <laqua; Time Fragments»
For the project, I’m using the form of a video esser, in which connects the personal experience of the time-dependency with the general state of history and the social hub. The starting point is my own fatigue from the cycle of everyday processes — those small actions that need to be repeated again and again to preserve the appearance of order and stability. But that feeling is beyond the limits of personal experience. On the level of the video is built as a rotation of the household routines of — makeup, brushing of teeth, watering of the plant — and more metaphorical scenes: the stopped stream of stream, frozen television news. Installations — deceleration, fixation, stoppage, — emphasize lockdown and coherence of the present.
The video is accompanied by the text of the essay — personal reflection on timing, repetition and inability to move forward.
The concept of a series of photographs <laquo; stuck»
The photo series continues with the study <laco; hanging out» time, but in more ironic key. If the video shows a serious, dramatic side of this state, then in photos the paphos level decreases. Found in on-line images of people stuck in train doors highlight the domestic, almost absurd side of the stuck. By processing these images and by printing them in by large-scale city billboards, I & laquao; by Mondayizing& raquao; by translating them into by large public space. So I’m showing how personal microfestations reflect the general state of society that stopped in time.
