From 4th of September, the White Night, till 3rd of October, in Kim?\u00a0\/ VKN gallery, an exhibition by Kri\u0161s Salmanis, titled “Insomnia” will take place.<\/p>\n

The exposition is centered around three works of an experimental animation. Their mood is close to an unpleasant dream, where the most common actions become unbearable and seizing. Kri\u0161s Salmanis, doctoral student at The Academy of Media Arts Cologne, started his work with the current exhibition in autumn, 2009. One of the works, animation loop, is a variation on the historical “moving pictures” aparatus zootrope has found its appearance in an installation “Insomnia” ; it gather reflections about situations which appear to have no exit.<\/p>\n

\u201eComplicated Futility\u201d – another animation loop, which shows the artist, cutting his hair, whileas the beard still keeps growing. When the hair is done, he starts with the beard, but in the meantime his hair keep growing again. Like “Insomnia”, it also seems to be a neverending process – ir is a neverending process, indeed. Kri\u0161s Salmanis has also included a minimization of a shot from the film of Michelangeo Antonioni “Blowup”, titled “Blowdown”; a poem “Digital Haiku”, which is the only poem by Kri\u0161s Salmanis, and several more works, like “Your Own Fault” and “Loser’s Parquet”, reflecting about dead-ends with unexpected solutions.<\/p>\n
