CLOSE ENCOUNTERS connects the three culture metropolises Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest in the representation of contemporary art, the promotion of
encounters and the development of a “new closeness” marked by reciprocity. CLOSE ENCOUNTERS is borne by artists and cultural actors
of the three cities and the creation of a cultural cross-border network. The objective is to raise public awareness on a broad level of the respective art scenes
and of the opportunities offered by synergies in this large cultural space. Emese Balikó, Budapest
Video - Light inside, 2003
The theme of the video can be approached from the ontology of the light which creates the image. In our culture the image generally means the image of the body.
This work questions the nature of the light and the nature of the body. In the same time -or because of all this- it is a documentation of a self extinction
experiment in an electric medium. Jan Fekete, Bratislava/Vienna
