Text
The catalog was published on the occasion of the exhibition Damir Očko: Studies on Shivering (2.1.2014 – 3.6.2014) at Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien.
Published on the occasion of Damir Očko’s exhibition Studies on Shivering the publication is shaped as a hybrid format and following a fragmented narrative of a collage structure, that includes various range of visual, graphic and textual material, ranging from visual poetry, a scenario / film script, collage, film stills, installation views. Along with the exhibition it unfolded various “Studies on Shivering” as a conceptual framework through which the artist questioned his approach to the process of filmmaking, which, besides central film work, included an array of creative expressions, such as poetry, musical scores, collages, research, music, and cinematic studies. It unfolded the artistic process by which the artist seeked to establish a space where film, research, and poetry meet.
