VIRTUAL RETROSPECTION

. a doubt: what does actually constitute reality, do we see what we are looking at or are we deceived by reflection, between waking and sleeping; distrust in the given frames of existence leads me to an inquiry that will result in the breakthrough of individual doubts into the codes of a familiar, accepted reality

. the artist as the mirror of the world, the revealer of unrevealed images, determined by an economic, political situation: is there a value code of liberation?

. the possibility of perception, of directing human senses, the presence which, despite our surrounding situation, doesn't allow vigilance and silently hibernates the gazes

. the hibernation of gaze as the questioning of meaning and political connotation, as a critique of the war, of creating myths and setting icons; a critique of the political everyday life and occurences it produces
