IGOR ŠPANJOL Monitor Knows the Secret
VIDEO WORKS

My intention in creating images is twofold. First I deal with the density, structure and construction of the image. Later I direct myself towards the métier itself. The idea passes from the imaginary to concrete images, which I then layer and define their time sequence. Video enchants me because of its precise technology and the possibility to manipulate the image. I see it as a very exact means of the creation of images. If Caravaggio and Schwitters were still alive, they would certainly work with video. Video is a very useful medium. It enables quick return information, it is handy and feather-light. It is as if made for internal use, and is especially productive in warm, dry places.
