Hajnal Németh: Bar 24
Galerija Balen
Slavonski Brod
12 - 31 December 2003


Hajnal Németh Bar 24


Hungarian artist Hajnal Németh on this occasion exhibited in Croatia for the first time, presenting recent video works and distinctive digital prints. In her work not only are we confronted with the DJ's method of sampling images from everyday life and remixing them in new constallations, there are also direct references to club culture. Her video works are without narration, and contain alternating allusions to fashion, contemporary music, design, gender relations, privacy, and religious mysticism. Her digital prints involve the multiplication of various motifs, including images from her videos, abstract designs, computer animation, parts of the body...which are deployed to create new patterns, which can then be multiplied further. The works of Hajnal Németh are psychologically intriguing, disconcerting and highly appealing.

The exhibition was curated by Maja and Reuben Fowkes.
