We
invited nine video artists from different countries to hitchhike
to Transylvania. On the way, crossing various cultures and situations
the artists recorded different aspects of the spaces they crossed,
representing whatever charmed or intrigued them about the local
cultures, social and economic contrasts and personal situations they
encounterd on the road. The meeting point was morisena.
The results can be seen >> here
The first week was devoted to time
for the artists to get familiar with each other, to watch each others
material and to share the stories of each individual journey, comparing
roads, social, cultural, economical and political situations
encountered. From
here, the artists have further hitchhiked in the area of Transylvania
during the project, exploring the local culture. The last week was
reserved for the final processing of the video.
At
the end of teh project a screening took place at Teatru 74 in Targu
Mures, followed by discussions with the audience. morisena provided the lodging,
infrastructure and - with the precious help of REEA - the technology for video editing and producing the final DVD.
