LITTLE PERSONAL HORROR SCENES - video installation (2010)


This project deals with irrational fears, which we all more or less have. Irrational fears are those which logic is not comprehensible nor to the subject nor to people in its environment. In the contemporary world that strives for ‘flawless’ individuals, the very thought of revealing one’s intimacy, evokes fear. The aim of this project is to give a chance to an individual to talk about irrational fears and connected experiences. An individual can talk freely and sincerely and to stay anonymous at the same time.
Principal research method is a survey. A story of each participant is in the form of statement. The audio recording is further depersonalized in order to respect the principle of anonymity. Computer synthesizing of voices gives horror shade to the statements. Besides, there is a background sound that follows the action with its sensibility.
In communication with the participants the focus is not at the fear itself, but at the authenticity of the experience. Each experience has been visualized in the form of short horror scenario. Along with the sound, video is projected with English titles of statements. There are scenes, in the background, blurred to the level of abstraction, which follow story dynamics.
The project would be realized as an audio-visual installation in a gallery.
