' Imagining Crisis'-International Creative Video Exhibition
Curator:  Yunnia Yang (Taiwan),
Venue:   Belgrade Cultural Center ( Kulturni centar Beograda) in Belgrade, Serbia
Date:July 31-August 23, 2014.
Opening: 20:00, July 31, 2014

The more civilized the world is, the more complicated the human soul becomes. What the progress of technology and the richness of material life create is not necessary a life full of happiness. Driven by the ‘Death Instinct’, human beings confront all kind of crisis and threats, imaging the death subconsciously. This imagination is an expression of creativity for an artist, as well as a contemporary memento mori. It deconstructs the given aesthetics.
This video exhibition departs from the anxieties of the artists about the artistic creation and the art world, our society twisting the essence of an individual very much through all kinds of mass media (including religion), and the nature pouncing on human beings for their long-term destruction. From the concrete perceptible crisis to the invisible, metaphysical, imaginative crisis, these creative artists embody the eccentric aesthetics of imagining the death.

SHAHAR MARCUS 
(Israel)
The Curator
4ʹ35ʹʹ, 2011

Structured like a Hollywood trailer with rhythmical editing and multiple effects, Shahar Marcus's video piece depicts a curator's "rise to power" with a measure of grotesqueness, sketching a map of the art world, with the curator reigning supreme.

ROSSINA BOSSIO 
(Columbia)
The Holy Beauty
6ʹ26ʹʹ, 2012

The Holy Beauty Project Volume 3 is the final installment in a series of videos that examine the seductive power of images and the representation of women as a means to communicate and consolidate social norms as well as ideals of beauty and morality.

(Argentina)

The Death of An Insect
7ʹ, 2010

In a lifeless urban landscape where time itself has stopped its crawl, a mad ballet is commencing and a newly hatched butterfly is about to die. It combines a number of animation techniques from classic stop-motion animation to animated 3D models of x-ray CT-scanned insects.

MIHAI GRECU, THIBAULT GLEIZE
(Romania, France)
Glucose
7ʹ, 2012

This film is a reflection on our familiar surrounding space. Based on the “quantum indeterminacy” principle of the quantum mechanics, it depicts a place where physical “bugs” happen: some surfaces are unexpectedly penetrable, while the scale of beings and objects is inverted or misplaced...

MASAHIRO TSUTANI 
(Јapan)
Between the Regularity and Irregularity
7ʹ50ʹʹ, 2012

Masahiro Tsutani improvises and through a conversation with himself, he has a chaotic worldview evocative of the firing of nerve cells, clustering sounds of convulsiveness. Nature creates the glow of light and the beauty of a shape lying between regularity and irregularity. Sounds and images with a granular texture. These things grasp the depths of the brain.

OLIVER PIERSCH 
(Germany)
Blood
3ʹ20ʹʹ, 2011

Blood becomes the main protagonist of its own aesthetic drama. It flows, squirts and drips. The red color is mixed with water, is absorbed by textiles and finally conquers the whole room.

From Here to Eternity
40ʹ 2010

From Here to Eternity explores the theme of death in the history of cinema; the artist addresses with a hint of humour the idea of immortality interpreted by actors through the course of time. Pietsch deconstructs and remystifies. His "encyclopedia" of dying in the cinema shows kitsch and escapism, and the inevitability of death.

PROVMYZA GROUP 
(Russia)
Confusion
22ʹ, 2009

It exploits the plot of a strange situation that arises at a party of young people. What happens there stirs some vague feeling, curiosity and fear in those present, i.e. those feelings that constitute confusion. The Confusion focuses on an individualized natural object – the bush – which was originally believed to pose potential threat to the people but fell victim to the feeling of confusion after suffering the unexpected aggressive will of the crowd.
