Exhibition of Katarina Šević and Gergely László (Tehnica Schweiz)

The Seeker is doomed to wander, albeit not to some final destination. The Seeker’s attention is dedicated to the journey itself and to the tactics of navigation. On the way, the Seeker gathers information, orientates, deconstructs and rearranges the imprints of the present, filters out the superfluous, the false, the deceptive, what is influenced by certain interests; what is untrue or what seems even more real than reality itself. This figure seeks what looms behind the facts and the reports of the present and what lingers between the lines. Although the Seeker orientates securely in the present, his knowledge and the decision-making mechanisms that help him to orient himself cannot be preserved for the future in any other form than a set of empty rites. What will be gleaned from these defunct movements and rituals? Will the Seekers of the future be able to read their own pasts?
The exhibition of Katarina Šević and Gergely László includes artworks of different genres, made individually or together by the artists – and also in collaboration with other co-creators –, arranged in a diorama, that sheds light on the possibilities of systematizing knowledge, preserving the present and reading the past from the future through small movement sequences, everyday gestures, sounds or subtle approaches.
