"Credo" deals with the belief as basis of Homo Socialis. The artist is interested in channeling belief into ideologies, horoscope, commercials, religions etc. Which are the essential principles of belief in both individual and collective level? Relating three TV-screens to each other Laura Kuusk plays with the repetition, adapting to roles, believability and the situation of viewing. Similarly to the cave engravings which were supposed to cause a successful hunt, the image and belief are still related through ritual, theater, repetition, rhytm. Belief in certain codes is the precondition of documentary genre and reality TV. Through audiovisual "magic" the artist studies the links between belief and image. |
