Artist statement:
The artistic intervention initiates artistic interactions related to social and political issues, and revives ‘anti-system’ practices as resistance to ‘planetary hegemony’ and ideology as ‘neoliberal capitalism’. ‘Parallel Voices’ in terms of form is defined as ‘autonomous’, without any function other than itself! It is otherwise thought of as a ‘Non-Curatorial Concept’ as a practice of contemporary ‘forms’ functioning in art. The central question that arises is: How to assess the capacity of ‘Artistic Forms’ to function ‘in the echo’ of social protest and politics!?
The cinema and projection space in the ‘Kino Rinia’ building is abandoned, without a specific destination. The ‘deaf’ and ‘dark’ state are the two starting points considering that today this building resembles a “CINEMA MUET” and a “CAMERA OBSCURA”. The awakening of the VOICE and the return of LIGHT to the former object that was a cinema; the spaces of the building in its entirety as the House of Projections in the sense of applying the most contemporary forms of film like the 7th art and of social activism as an artistic form of expression.The experimental form of transmission is intentional. Operators / Announcers through VOICE broadcast the DAILY LIFE of 20 years of democracy. The public is provoked by the ambiguity produced by the technical cacophony, which at the same time evokes opposing feelings of observation, leaving room sometimes for curiosity and sometimes for indifference. In the thematic aspect, it also affects the post 90 ‘situation and the ambiguity of the XXI century.
