My long-term subject of interest has been the old House and its captivating surroundings, located in northwestern Slovakia. It is a sort of an abandoned family memorial I have visited since my early childhood. Once a romantic place where time was not an issue, and everything seemed to be possible. Now, after years of neglect, the House has turned into a ruin - an enclosed time capsule overgrown by surrounding vegetation. Rotting apple orchard slopes away from the House. External human (means my dad, me and thieves) or natural interventions organically transform and update the place, more or less ordinary things appear and disappear unexpectedly. Sagging ceilings are becoming more common. The House lives in its special "post-human" latent apocalyptic biosphere. I continue to visit this place every now and then, armed with a cell phone camera, synthesizing this dwindling micro-world into short CG films or drawings.

Given my nostalgic relationship to the House, I treat most of my drawings as a time-based medium. It is no different with this drawing either. I tried to unfold and conserve multiple durations/temporalities in it, such as the time I spent in the House both as a child and as an adult. Simply put, it is my memories and personal history with the place. There is also the time I spent creating the drawing. An uncompromising technical solution resulted in me having to be virtually occupying the room I drew for months. Therefore, the time was not only captured, arrested in the past, or freezed into a motionless snapshot. Instead, thanks to a drawing process, it was spatialized and got another temporal quality - it was "continually becoming"* (*Jane GRISEWOOD, Marking time, London, UAL, 2010). One present (the moment I took a digital photo that served as a reference to the drawing) was not immediately replaced by another one (a present, which arises right after the photo was taken). Finally, there is a CG video "Fragment 0" which is both autonomous and symbiotic part of the drawing. It takes place in the same room in an apocalyptic-like ambivalent timeline. It provides an experience of other temporalities and expanding on "continually becoming" aspect. All in all, the entire project was my attempt of a breakout from the prison of modern unilinear time - by working and searching in-between times, by losing a sense of time - to create something, hopefully, timeless.

3D animation, 8′ 45″, loop, watch in 4K if possible.

Fragment 0 takes place in an organic area devoided of universal physical laws, natural processes and mankind, whose absence indicates the latent forms of the world in either the final or the initial state of the moment 0.

Aula: Area of Universal Latency, CGI short film, 22 minutes

//ENG

Area of Universal Latency (Aula) is a part of a large, interdependent system of specific places, rooted in the historical reality of northwestern Slovakia. The dominant feature of Aula is the House, some sort of author’s family memorial, once a romantic place, now abandoned ruin surrounded by a rotting apple orchard. The external human or natural uncoordinated interventions organically transform Aula and constantly "make it contemporary". It lives in its special "post-human", latent apocalyptic biosphere. The reality of constantly ongoing processes of birth and decomposition in Aula, means utopia. This is not a utopia in the sense of an impossible future, but a utopia as the present we live in. Through its ambivalence, CGI film Aula tries to point out to the current uncertainty of society.

//SK

Areál univerzálnej latencie (Aula), je súčasťou veľkého, na seba nadväzujúceho systému špecifických miest, zakorenených v historickej realite prostredia lokalizovaného na severozápadnom Slovensku. Dominantou Auly je stavba – Dom, určitý druh nášho rodinného pamätníka, kedysi romantizujúce miesto, teraz miazmou presiaknutá opustená ruina obklopená hnijúcim jablkovým sadom. Vonkajšie ľudské alebo prírodné nekoordinované zásahy Aulu organicky premieňajú a neustále „zosúčastňujú“. Aula funguje vo svojej zvláštnej „post-human“, latentne apokalyptickej biosfére. Realitu procesov zrodu a rozkladu, neustále v Aule prebiehajúcich, chápem ako formu utópie. Nejde tu o utópiu v zmysle nemožnej budúcnosti, ale o utópiu ako súčasnosť, v ktorej žijeme. Video Aula sa snaží o čo najmenšiu explicitnosť, o nevyslovenie ničoho konkrétneho. Touto ambivalenciou chce poukázať na súčasnú neurčitosť spoločnosti.
