The world has slowed down recently; are we able to keep the change? To hold it? Can we stay in timelessness?
We create a place, an environment. A person enters inside and perceives, observes, searches, slows down. He/She stays with the situation and space alone. They might ask themselves a question: “what is happening? Is there something happening at all?” This something is familiar, close, known…..soil in a flowerpot is wet. There is a water boiling in the pot. There is something turn upside down. You can sense a smell of something: where is it coming from? An orange is peeled, but not completely. A sentence is written but not finished…
Project is a continuation of the situation in Medium Gallery in Bratislava (2O19). It consists of visual, performative, poetic, day-to-day and familiar, mundane elements. The environment where visitors enter is alive - it´s rather an atmosphere. We are interested in what is ephemeral, temporal, what lasts just now. We work with a sense of intimacy and closeness and possibilities of their sharing.
Only one visitor enters the space at a time and can stay for 40-minute period. After they are gone, the space is refreshed and updated, actualised for newcomers.
