The 1st Festival of the Smallest (2020)

We are looking for the smallest, the quietest, the least, the narrowest, the slowest, the lightest, the shortest and the thinnest. If your work is barely perceptible by eye, by ear, by mind, yet unmistakably present, then we want to show it somehow.
We don’t want to predefine a format. It can be part of an exhibition, an evening or a magazine. It depends what you come up with …

Unfortunately, this last promise could not be kept. Due to the revival of the pandemic, we can only present this festival online.
Nevertheless, we believe that this inevitability has turned out to be a quality.

1 sec.#4
During walks I take hundreds of pictures, more or less random, but always with a shutter speed of 1/30 second. For the work “1 sec.#4″ I selected 30 photos of tree trunks and placed them in consecutive order in a video. This imaginary representation of time and place plays back at 30 frames per second, lasting exactly 1 second.
