The 4th Festival of the Smallest (2026)

For the fourth and final time we were looking for
the quietest, the least, the narrowest, the slowest,
the lightest, the shortest, the thinnest and the smallest.
We show work, barely perceptible by eye, by ear, by mind,
yet unmistakably present. This festival can only be visited online.

Ben Bogart: Tree, Shore, Water and Sky (2026)

‘I use computer vision and machine learning methods to create images by re-configuring the spatial, temporal and conceptual boundaries in collected visual materials. Here, the source is a 3 month time-lapse captured my residency at a wetland park. The image was divided into four areas, selecting a nearby tree, the far shore, sky and water. The 4×2 pixel video is composed of 4 colour values, each corresponding to the average colour of that area. The 45min video shows 3 months of changing light, weather and seasons, reduced to four colour values’. Ben Bogart

Christine Wassermann: 10 seconds (2026)


I explore the minimal units of our daily media consumption. Most news broadcasts consist of rapid-fire sequences—short clips that pass by so quickly they form a melody where the individual notes are no longer perceived. By isolating these fragments, slowing them down significantly (up to 100 times), and applying deliberate blurring, I extract their silent, visual essence.Christine Wassermann
