"Snoring in the USA"
Exhibition take over from The Art Pavilion in Zagreb:
„Snoring in the USA” is a multi-channel video installation, a poetic and ironical work that deals with America and our fascination with it; a visual essay about clichéd images that adopts elements of the road movie, recording a trip by car through the American West. Although the motivation of the artists is very personal, the experimental documentary form is the work’s chief determining feature. The installation shows some of the most important locations from film history (Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Las Vegas and so on) as well as anonymous small towns, gas stations, drive in cemeteries.
