Displacement

The Displacement

video, self initated project

Concept

We are living in times when the displacement takes place simultaneously on many levels.

the displacement of power, force, in the political word,
the displacement of people as sociological phenomenon
the displacement of aesthetic
the displacement of roles and responsibility of artist / designer / curator

Video has two narratives—conducted equivalent. First is tracking graphics, made for the needs of the group DDG which is placed on my blog “aestheticblog.tumblr.com”; and has been displaced by other users for a dozens of times. I travel to unknown places discovered by the rebloged links of other users to see where my work wandered—in what context my work is shown. Second narrative concerns a problem of internally displaced people. There is no legal definition of Idp, despite the fact that it is one of the most significant and symptomatic issues of our time, still accumulates and remains unresolved.
These shifts overlap and identify each other, are devoid of boundaries, boundaries of legal, moral, aesthetic, state, political, human, escape into the unknown.
