Ice-cream and Freedom
This video is a huge part of my artist's statement! :-) I consider this my work as video art, made by the expression meanings of animation. It is a part from the series of videos ”Hit It in Your Head!” where I’ve tried to create art-works with strong visual impact (as colours and images) but with an irrational message. In other words, these are videos, which don’t have to be understood with usual logical thinking, because there is nothing for understanding: their purpose is to provoke a process of thinking, but not for the video itself, but for something, which is not in the video. It is very individual process. I know; it is not easy to explain this, because being irrational: it is not for explanation, but for perceiving.
