The exhibition everything is fine took place on the 17th of May, during one evening, from sunset to sunrise.
In this exhibition I worked with a community of people that are close to me
with my friends and acquaintances, whom I invited to my apartment,
where we had a party, just like we usually party in our apartment, under normal circumstances.
The party was also the first work, the visitor of the exhibition had the opportunity to see.
It was called Friday Night Fever.
The whole exhibition revolves around the fact that me and my acquaintances go out and party a lot.
It is the leitmotif of the whole exhibition.
My point was that at some moment the whole thing turns into a stereotype, a bad habit, and people tend to overdo it.
The second part of the show is a video called Climax Community.
I worked with Climax, a film by Gaspar Noe, which portrays a community of people
who celebrate the success of a theatre performance, things turn bad and it ends very tragically.
It is a typical way of working for me to rent a movie and work with its content.
In this case, I used the final part of the movie, which was interspersed with various videos
which were shot randomly by me or my acquaintances, at the parties we have gone to.
It was footage of my friends and acquaintances who were in various states during the parties.
The footage was complemented by various texts explaining what a community actually is
how community relationships work and how the relationships inside of a community fall apart.
That was the leitmotif of the video, which is the most critical part of the exhibition.
The third and last part of the show is a kinetic light installation called White Lies.
It consists of three meotars, which, standing on special pedestals, move and imitate the movement of the dance.
These meotars were closed in a separate room of the apartment, where music played and they moved.
They projected the words "Everything is OK" on the walls of the room.
These meotars were a sort of opposition to what happened in the first room - in the first work exhibited at the exhibition
which was a performance open to participation where me and my friends experienced the party.
Those meotars with their robotic moves were actually the opposite of that performance.
So in one room there were living machines, living people
and in the second room were robots that moved and projected these thoughts on the wall.
The title of the exhibition "Everything is OK" works with this sentence.
I chose this sentence because I feel a certain irony in it and a little lie.
People often use it when they meet on the street, they ask each other how are you, and say i'm ok, i'm fine.
Often it is a small lie, because people are afraid to reveal their true state and how they really feel.
In our community, I often ask my friends how they are and get this answer
but I can see those friends are not okay at that moment.
That's why I chose it as the leitmotif and the name of the whole exhibition
