EI - EYE - SHOTS

Alexander Schikowski started to work with Photoarchive in Romania in 1995. He travels mainly across Russia and Hungary but also Switzerland, USA, France and Germany to draw motifs for his work. A wooden box in an exhibition space works as a mobile presentation object in which the author keeps his photographs. He calls his work in the process of development „Nur Bilder“ (Just a picture“). At the exhibition there is a selection of pictures the viewers can individually arrange on a gallery wall. Thus they become a part of the event. Schikowski sometimes uses the selected pictures to transfer painting into the new medium retrospectively. His objects and videos were displayed in the Make Up Gallery from September 6, 2012.

EI - EYE - SHOTS
Improvisation is based on Rasa (Rasa - Indonesian term for feeling) - free musical improvisation using feelings - the inner sense of Rasa. Exercises in experimental music and free music in composition based on Rasa, using or creating objects as media that produce sounds from materials that are all around us, such as waste materials.
I decided to go for the last option, making use of my present position of an art teacher, and so I decided to introduce works of our students from the Video studio. I hope the videos do not show any traces of my influence and I believe this will remain true also in the future.
