The exhibition thematizes the art of author’s book & author’s and hand-made film and defines the meeting point of materiality, traditional, experimental and contemporary tendencies in the approach to the artistic categories of two different media. The book established itself as a modern work of art in the ’60s, while the film does so at the time of the world avant-garde. Both experimental forms of the traditional medium oscillate on the border of a constant dialogue between contemporary art and the rich inner, often solitary worlds of the authors, their voices are heard sometimes only after the fact or through lucky finds in estates, drawers or archives. Invited authors are complex artists, participating in all stages of the creation and preparation of the work, including the selection of paper, format, binding, as well as publication and distribution. The selection of author’s books and films points to the tendencies of contemporary artists who maintain a creative dialogue with the medium of books and films. The author’s books in the gallery are transformed into installations or gallery situations, the films leave the projectors and offer new reading possibilities.
