Saso Vrabic's project is a powerful intersection of visual and sound material. This multimedia assemblage is a result of the artist's years long, ongoing questioning of the private sphere and re-appropriation of the intimate in the mass-environment. As the author states "Escapism is better then cynicism", he searches for the world buried under millions of cross-references, while still eloquently dealing with some acute social issues. What we all might discover here is his insistence on the fact that we might as well allow ourselves to be human in public, to rediscover the forgotten beauty of plain scenery, static objects, melancholy, the exaltation or sadness of the moment and the shear poetry of human relations. A football game, a child sitting on a chair, newly placed furniture in a recently rearranged apartment are given the atmosphere of a jour fix of the highest importance, sewing the time structure onto the grid of "Hunting High and Low".

The project is supported by The Municipality of Ljubljana and The Ministry of Culture RS.
