The 1 Breath Time Manifest
The quick pace of "progress", the daily havoc of consumerism, the hunt for comfort while exploiting the Earth's resources, empty mass media, daily items: new today? old tomorrow, the culture of throw-away kitsch, junk and snuff, combined with a low sensitivity threshold for the suffering around us caused dramatic changes in the social-environmental situation the like of which we have never seen, thus bringing us to one last breath time.

These days, when apocalyptic prophecies might be realized in a moment and the mass media is busy with self-indulgence and international terrorism, the need arises to raise the sensitivity threshold of the artist while creating in a survival act, to be able to connect with the current experience.

In "1 breath time" the artist inhales and attacks the format with various colors and materials, feeling that this might be the last creation and while feeling the air running out, the idea and object of the piece undergoes an abstraction of quick, survival motions in a futile attempt to reach completion. The piece becomes random and perfect from the failure of the artist to continue adding and adding.

When the artist's air runs out the piece is finished, the creation is total, and there is no adding or removing possible, just as you cannot resuscitate the dead.

The creation is the gibberish of our reality
