HiQ

Project performance audio-visual, combining ideas of Japanese poetry of the haiku, the contemporary visual art and the intuitive improvisation in the music. Poetry haiku and contemporary intuitive European art are related to the same practice of methods and sourcing of artistic works. The same ways of seeing the world and its philosophical base are linking them. In spite of different languages, reality consists in a similar receipt and is appealing to similar aesthetic intuitions. Poetry haiku, resulting from the concept Zen, relies on intuition for grabbing hold of and clothes into words of the impression of the certain moment, firmly affected to the poet. The emotion associated with this moment is most importantly in the transmission of haiku – a recipient of the poetry should read the intuition of this moment out.  

As a champion D.T. Zen Suzuki said: „Haiku… is describing images reflecting the intuition.” Performance is a Haiku with form linking the image with sound letting for reaching the unavailable layers to intellectual speculation. This art has its roots in the Taoist ideal of artistic creativity, being an access in real and not verbalized face of world, touching very Dao. Specification/example/work Fri. Albion the Hotel of Insults is being designed with the small projector being held in its hand by performance artist Aleksander Janicki. Albion is showing the installation inside the British Hotel.  

The dynamic image of the claustrophobic space is multiplied with the help of the reflection in a mirror placed on the stage. The image copied by the mirror and falling down on the plain white colour of the screen is creating an abstract composition. In the course of exercise T’ai Chi determines the traffic of the performance artist, reminding him of the movements from the real image passing into the abstraction, resembling the image in the kaleidoscope. A camera above the stage is registering the image with the result of a calculation of the performance artist and is transmitted to a large-format screen. Dynamics of the movement of the performance artist affects this image directly, from which – as from intuitive scores – musicians are drawing.  

Sound affects the emotions of the performance artist creating the symbiotic arrangement, linking image with sound.
