The 54th Venice Biennale: ILLUMInazioni / Hungarian Pavilion, CRASH Passive Interview

By several critics one of the most interesting pavilion of the Biennale, Hungarian Pavilion presents work of Hajnal Nemeth titled Crash – Passive Interview. Space is divided into three rooms. First room is filled with magenta lights that give the sense of optical dislocation. In the middle there is one crashed car. Next room shows text of the songs placed as musical notes. These songs are sung in the videos in the third room. There are several videos showing two actors: male and female opera singers. In various situations, the couple or single singer, are talking by singing opera. The talk describes the situation that leads to the crash car. It is funny, amusing and meditative at the same time.
