MANIFEST
- Borders are just lines, not reality. Passports do not define human worth.
- Art exists in the space between word and thing. It observes, it records, it generates events.
- The social and political are essential coordinates of contemporary art. Any work outside this space loses relevance.
- Traces of movement matter more than forms. Emigration, exile, displacement — these are dimensions, not punishments.
- Freedom of expression is a method, not a declaration. It obeys no form, no expectation.
- Humanism, tolerance, inclusivity are tools for engaging the world, not slogans. It’s just essential.
- The viewer is not the goal. The task is to record the collision of cultures, memory, and identity.
- Silence is complicity. Art must ask questions, even if it offers no answers.
- Attention to details fixes reality. Objects, events, movements — all form a map of time.
- Art exists as trace. Trace of time, of space, of thought — it documents life without decorating it.
- Doubt is a principle. To question oneself, one’s medium, one’s context, is necessary for honesty.
- Observation is a responsibility. Witnessing the world is part of creating it.
- Time is material. The duration, delay, and impermanence of events shape meaning.
- Space is relational. Art unfolds between people, objects, and ideas, never in isolation.
- Ethics are inseparable from creation. Artistic decisions carry weight beyond the studio or gallery.
