Baudelaire wondered:
“what is art in a modern concept? It is the creation of an eloquent/ expressive magic which contains/includes both the object and subject”
– that is the exterior (world) to the artist and the artist her/him self, her/his ability for selecting phenomena,

The project will be presented as a four-chanel, simulataneous video projection.It is based on four themes which are utterly different in their narrations but similar in their character of noticing and catruring picture and sound, although their origins are often ;arginal/indefinite.

The whole makes much more the impression of a dream than reality,giving feeling from the borderline of a perception.

There are many reflection, miror images, ambiguities enhanced by using the technique of reprojestion and semi – transparent layers (Nick Stuart and Brian Ring). In Artur Tajber and Beata Stankiewicz movies the attention is focused on the details of the reality confined with frame. As to the former (Nick Stuart and Brian Ring) all the undergoing changes (within frame) seem to be nearly inperceptible, in the latter (Artur Tajber, Beata Stankiewicz) the sequences are constructed by the elements merging each with the succeeding one.

“Transition” is a complex video installation. The respective video will be displayed on separate screens. The way of organization of the video – objects in the space and their arrangement relative to each other to expose their dialectic conections as well to conterbalance different aspects of the presentation and intergreate them into the space/surroundings.
