Positive Message (Lord of the Rainbow)

CAUTION!!! Caution! Please, do not do this at your home! Even do not try!! All the footage in thеsе videos is shot as a result of long years of practicing Kung Fu, transcendental meditation and happy coincidence.

This video is a part of my series of videos "RAINBOW DOES NOT BELONG TO NOBODY" , which has to be regarded as an artistic research on the RAINBOW as a phenomenon – physical (optical), but also political, social, financial, psychological, mystical and last but not least a phenomenon visual – the RAINBOW as natural manifestation of spectral colors.

Director Statement

I'm a multidisciplinary artist, who for the last 15 years, has been working mainly in the field of video art. But my last work is a full-length movie, in which I tried to mix video art and cinema languages; actually, I tried to find my own language. (Here you can read more about it: http://www.nenobel.net/neno-a-heart-octopus.htm.) It took me almost 3 years to finish it – much more time, than I expected but during the work over it, I’ve realized that the most important thing being an artist is to have freedom of the thinking.

In my art works, I work in my own direction. My task as an artist is to look through the cover of things in their real essence. To provoke the people to see how of front of their own eyes their own world is changing. For me the art is a form of communication with other people and the artists has in their hands the art as a tool, in which the opportunity to provoke and change the thinking of the others is hidden.

I “say” seemingly well-known truths and facts, but by matching them with contradictory but very strong visual elements, which if considered at one level, seem to be in conflict with one another both ideologically and visually, but the appearance of these contradictory elements change the meaning deep in its roots and make it multileveled. As a result of it, I achieve multilevel message with strong irrational impact, which does not have to be considered by using logical thinking. The art is beyond the direct message. In my work, I use very often humour, beside that in the other hand I take my art very seriously.

The art is my way to be free.
