IGNAS KRUNGLEVICIUS. VERNISSAGE
— PODIUM. FRIDAY, 27 JANUARY, 2012. 19.00

 

“The strategic intervention in the field of vision has been organized primarily around the regulation of the relationship between beings, images and language. (…) The claim of legal iconology is that the stakes behind the close link between law and vision are high. Subjectivity is created in the field of vision, to be a self is to be seen. I look from one position but I am looked at from everywhere. The ‘social gaze’ looks back at me from the place of the others and inscribes otherness in the midst of self. It is not the look of any particular other, but the visual, photographic action of otherness which places me within a field of vision as I turn towards others and look at them.

 

The operation of normative systems (religion, morality, increasingly law) interposes a ‘legalscreen’ between the subject and the social gaze, filtering the objects of vision and determining the way in which we see and are given to the world to be seen. The screen is a collection of authoritative images and material practices which offer a repertory of approved representations through which social identity is inscribed. It determines how each of us is given to the world to be seen, as handsome or ugly, pleasant or nasty, polite or boorish.” — Costas Douzinas

Not about love or hate, some call it gestures,others called it art
Neither or, all in one, love, hate and stories, I am here in this given rented space to see it
Someone put their 9 to 5 and roller-coaster life into this
I am here to cash in my thrills of exhibited ideas
or wait
step in, walk forward

visitor #12

visitor#21

To stand
To walk
To look at a video work of art
To read it

To be more people than you in a rented space
To care

visitor #24

To flog a dead horse, To eat like a horse, Straight from the horse’s mouth
and there was one about a man with a vest, smiling about some pest and then he fell off, maybe, on his way to a tree pa…Ohhhh, look at this green one, oops sorry, dude, didn`t mean to bump your drink all over you.

visitor #25

pay attention
you`ve heard that voice before
one more time, never mind where your standing
and stop pushing your neighbor

visitor #27

Yes. I know this. There is a present passion for music. There is a taste for confusion, This is serious placement of recited words. Monumental mind library of the sort to stare at and in repeat remember that Yes. I know this!

visitor #31

like a honey sting for the eye
telling story with or without the brainwash in between
it`s not a story about you, I think
not putting new meaning to something you have already passed
try to follow now
there is real brutal fragment of mythical story here

Ihra Lill Scharning

Det er ingen andre. Papiret ligger i bakgrunnen, og noen snakker om hva de tror. De beveger hendene imens de prater. Det de tror de husker er egentlig ikke sant. Veien er grønn, veien er rød, og hukommelsen lager falske minner. Falske minner forekommer når folk mener å «huske» hendelser som avviker fra det som virkelig har skjedd. Hukommelse kan defineres som evnen til å innkode, lagre og gjenhente informasjon.

Hun er i det. Ghost whispering. Hun hvisker, og han sier, there is nobody around. Hun er ung. Du vet. Papiret ligger i bakgrunnen, og noen snakker om hva de tror, for de vet egentlig ingenting. Veien er grønn, veien er rød. Kort fortalt kan vi se på falske episodiske og selvbiografiske minner som en ekstremvariant av feilhukommelse, hvor illusjonen blir skapt ved at informasjon fra andre kilder har blitt bearbeidet av egen kunnskap, egne forestillinger og egen fantasi. Hukommelsen lager falske minner, og de legger hendene mot skjermen. Glasset mot hendene. Flekker på ruta. Fra fingrene. Fra huden, og kjøttet og beina. Hukommelsen lager falske minner. Slike forestillinger kan oppstå ved at man forveksler informasjon fra andre kilder (hva man er blitt fortalt, kan tenke seg, eller har opplevd i ettertid) med faktiske erindringer. Dette fører til at minnet med en gang kan fremstå som svært realistisk og selvopplevd. Man risikerer til slutt å sitte igjen med en historie der man ikke lenger kan skille fiksjon fra fakta, hva vi eventuelt har fantasert og hva vi har blitt fortalt av de eksterne kildene. Hun er i det. Ghost whispering. Hun hvisker, og han sier, there is nobody around. Hendelser fra barndommen som man tilsynelatende har glemt eller fortrengt, kan vekkes til live på et senere tidspunkt (for eksempel under psykoterapi), og kan vise seg å være falske. Papiret ligger i bakgrunnen. Veien er grønn. Veien er rød. Noen snakker om hva de tror. Hukommelsen lager falske minner. De vet egentlig ingenting. Hun er i det. Ghost whispering. Hun hvisker, og han sier, there is nobody around. Hun er ung. Du vet. Papiret ligger i bakgrunnen. Hukommelsen lager falske minner. Ghost whispering. There is nobody around.

Ignas Krunglevicius / CONFESSIONS / DVD release

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

29. september · 19:00 - 23:30

CONFESSIONS (2010, 59 min.)

A collection of eight confessions, hand written
and court transcripts, of convicted criminals.
It is then reduced to only those sentences
where the criminal is talking about his or hers
own emotions.The perpetrators personal
landscape of guilt is revealed with no descriptions
about the actual criminal act. The most extreme act of violence
contains something that we can all recognize
in ourselves; the inner psychological patterns of reasoning
and justification, remorse and/or the lack of it.

Videomusic piece from Ignas Krunglevicius,
where you will meet some of the
most disturbing people who ever walked the face of the earth.
