Privat(e)

Experimental mini CD Privat(e) contains six songs played mostly with acoustic instruments and singing vocals. It was based as a soundtrack for the exhibition so many songs are based as an illustration for paintings and they work as an ambiental background for visual works. Various flutes are the main instruments in most of the songs, but we can sense some organs and soprano sax in jazzy first song "Little Things" and interesting accapella version of Eye in The Sky, cover from Alan Parson Project. Mini album is recorded at home and its nature is more experimental and sometimes music is not on time and is even out of tune, but the author recorded everything by himself alone, so we can say he has some creative potential left for the future projects.
Somebody Somewhere


About project and exhibition:

Interactive, intemedia installation combines images of visual material that author made after video and
photo shots of his private world. Privat(e) is a audio-visual project, that deals with social views of generation (that author likes to name it ZX-gen after the art group) and its escapist journeys into game world and computers. As author states "Escapism is better then cinism", he deals with escapism as creative escape from reality, but on the other hand he's intrested in that second reality that's already part of the "real one". Even in his previous works author deals with a theme of private issues that are pushed infront of the public's eyes. Like in the project Sound Paintings, Sunday at Bezigrad, Vogue and Great Expectation he stays in the role of voayer with a very subjective, sometimes straight and even nostalgic perspective.

The main part of exhibition are paintings and photos combined with sensors and sound moduls with short sound recordings. The visitors activates intimate sound recordings as walking through gallery space. The second part are audio-visual installations that combined subjective video shorts with added private text and also a ready-made video game. That installation presents an example of radical - subjective view on private microcosmos as a part of everyday life of author and his generation born in 1970's. Music CD with original score for the exhibition is also recorded for the occasion.
