Change fair is the final exhibition in a series of dialogues by invited artists that question the relationship between artist and device. Where and when exactly does a work come into being—in the hands of the artist, within the capabilities of a tool, in the viewer’s eyes, or simply in an interplay between these.

Untitled (Saint-Martial) (2) from the series bleu, blue, blauw, blau, mėlyna, combines three different exposure times of a clear blue sky. In this series I point my camera to the (blue) sky and record with (multiples of) 8 minutes and 19 seconds as exposure time. The title refers not only to the sky, but also to the countries I cross and their languages. By exposure times like these colour shifts occur. Can colour be time? More information and images of this series can be found here.

Footnote (Blanca) acts as a visual introduction to my work and working methods. In the exhibition change fair it is presented alongside the exhibition text. This portrait was taken during the making of Blanca.
