Artyčok.TV Online Exhibition is an international project focusing predominantly on audiovisual art. A monthly exhibition series are prepared by curators and theoreticians collaborating actively on the contemporary art scene.
The videos of Ivan Candeo, Irgin Sena, and Samuil Stoyanov that this exhibition brings together are seemingly unassuming and matter-of-fact in subject and manner. Such an affect however, is the result of the artists’ subtle study into our “pure intuitions” of time and space through the medium of video. In these works, image and sound are slowed down, held still, erased, fragmented, repeated, compressed, sped up or extended to produce confounding perceptions of motion and representation. United by a commitment to exploring the very elements and qualities of time-based filmic material, these works verge on the poetic.
