FREE MANIFESTA: PROJECTS: INTERSECTED TERRITORIES




INTERSECTED TERRITORIES

IGOR ANTIC



Video projection (VHS), 5 minutes, non-stop video. Editing IA Studio Paris, 2002

The video shows the intersection of different activities in the same space. The antique show, as well as the basketball and football matches, are taking place in a gymnasium. Via video editing, those activities are merged into one event which is both coherent and absurd.

The fire engine, the oil paintings, furniture and ceramic sculptures are displayed among sports equipment thus creating a new territory in which spiritual and physical levels intersect.


VHS video, trajanje 5 minuta (non-stop projekcija). Montaza IA Studio, Pariz 2002.

Video prikazuje ukrstanje razlicitih aktivnosti i jednom istom prostoru. Salon antikviteta, kosarkaski i fudbalski mecevi odvijaju se u istoj hali. Kroz video montazu, te aktivnosti su stopljene u jedinstveni dogadjaj, podjednako koherentan koliko i absurdan.

Vatrogasna kola, uljane slike, namestaj i keramicke skulpture, poredjani su oko sportskih sprava, stvarajuci na taj nacin novu "teritoriju" na kojoj se ukrstaju duhovni i materijalni planovi.
