Private View

The title piece of the exhibition is a multichannel videoinstallation in which the artist himself is the central actor. He speaks about art, about the work of other artists. Although it is not easy to follow the sentences, the suggestive expression on his face catches the attention of the viewer, and becomes hard to stop watching the work.

Alteration is a video adaptation of a larger installation which is created site-specifically for the parallel running solo exhibit in the Kiscelli Museum. It is the story of the genesis and the disappearance of an indefinable, but somehow familiar space. Spread presents a slowly moving mass of people, a demonstration of a rebelling group.

Eike s recent prints depict strange architectural details of existing buildings, as of the Museum of Fine Arts or the Kunsthalle in Budapest. Observation equipments are installed on the walls. Due to Eike s manipulations, the images remind us of a futuristic vision of an architect. Present and past appear simultaneously, just as reality and the world manipulated.
