Power - International digital exhibition catalog
In this exhibition, we seek to explore what Power is. Is it a physical meaning, or is strength something internal? Does being strong mean having an advantage over someone and being the first, or is it about willpower when a person has almighty patience and goes step by step to his goal? Does power have gender, man’s superiority over nature, or do time and age affect power? Everyone has their own truth. Let’s think about the meaning of power and show our own vision in this exhibition!

About artwork<br />
The photo from a series of three focuses on the act of observing. Those who observe<br />
collect data and thus place themselves in a more powerful position vis-à-vis those who<br />
do not, cannot or do not want to collect this data.<br />
Observing, watching, monitoring, especially when it is done in secret, helps to gain<br />
power. It is irrelevant whether the scientist evaluates collected data or the secret service<br />
employee. The power imbalance in relation to those who do not have this data remains<br />
and the step towards surveillance is small.<br />
Artist Statement<br />
I am interested in the human condition between the pace of personal learning and development<br />
and the constantly accelerating processes of technical action and innovation.<br />
Matter has long since decoupled from process. The exciting question for me is whether<br />
and how a reconnection, perhaps even a kind of unison, can be achieved again? The<br />
desire that drives a body and the pleasure that nourishes a body may be driving forces<br />
in this enterprise.<br />
