SERGEJ VUTUC
Over time, Sergej Vutuc's works turn out to lend towards the studying and structuring of a certain coherent space of ideas, feedback and exchange, with the idea of the physical mostly serving as a disposable clue or pseudo-honest landmark. This is as far as all humanly perceptible and exploitable frequencies are concerned and includes the exploration of image, photography and photocopy, motion and sound, human happenings such as live meetings and exhibitions or the production of a book.
The machine is utilized as a tool rather than celebrated as a technique and thus interpreted for its pure design: photocopiers become music instruments, the noise turns into a publication or meets the visual by the means of its injection alongside the reality of Super 8 and 16mm films. Freed from arbitrary constraint, the facets of each fragmented medium naturally recompose themselves into one absolute ensemble.
The resulting publications themselves bear the mark of their direct existence, most apparently via handwritten titling, spontaneously closing and thus defining the circle.
