The project »Hot Glass« focuses on the way established structures in visual arts encounter chance. It allows two different layers of film to interact mechanically and observes how content and form spill over from one substrate to the other. The connection creates a new authentic layer that randomly makes one story or the other legible. The author then selects those moments that communicate with each other through a special correspondence. He is interested in how a virtual image becomes physical, even mate rial, under certain circumstances.
About the artist:
Stanislav Piatrik (1979) studied graphic design and fine arts at the Academy of Arts in B. Bystrica (SK). He completed his doctoral studies there in 2015. In his works, he repeatedly deals with the medium of film, its narrative and perception, as well as with the principle of superimposing two moving images (shadows).
