"COLLIDER" by Oksana Chepelyk

Collider project works with time, space, science, urbanism, history and new technologies. Collider examines the iconic places of USA, Russia and Ukraine of C20-21 political history. The project deals with events which took place in different urban landscapes, which had an influence on subsequent historical development. This large, long-term project began in the USA, in Dallas -- on the site of the John F. Kennedy assassination -- and brings Ukraine into this politically sited world context via to the Chernobyl catastrophe, the Orange revolution etc. A collider accelerates two beams of particles that are directed against each other under experimentally controlled conditions, so that the particles collide while flying in opposite directions. This process can be used to make strange and anti-matter. If the latest theory of Tom Weiler and Chui Man Ho is right, the Large Hadron Collider -- the world's largest atom smasher that started regular operation last year (which, the mass media would have us believe, can cause the danger of Apocalypse) -- could be the first machine capable of causing matter to travel backwards in time. And time, of course, is one of the fundamental concepts for physics and philosophy, one of the key co-ordinates of space-time. In the project, time is presented by projected video that consists of 24 fragments of moving image, which will be revolved with acceleration in an artistic collider, activated via a mechanism of audio-visual jumps where certain fragments will gradually be substituted by archival videos. For the realisation of the project, I'm looking for specific fragments of archival materials, and I have captured video from a consistent perspective in Chernobyl, at Independence Square in Kiev and at the Potiomkin Stairs in Odesa (both sites are revolutionary and cultural phenomena), at the site of the World Trade Centre memorial in New York, and next to the White House in Moscow. I am considering the possibility of developing Collider further -- examining the Geumnamno street in Kwangju (South Korea), the Tiananmen Square in Beijing (China), the former Berlin Wall (Germany), Freedom Square in Tbilisi (Georgia), Paradis (Fardus) Square (now Freedom Square) in Baghdad (Iraq), Mexico City's Zócalo and Paseo de la Reforma (Mexico), and Tahrir Square in Cairo (Egypt). It is a critical art that testifies today's social reality and its traumas. It is important as an approach in art to certify and record some corporeal feeling of contemporaneity, for sake of the future. The Collider project, working with the events that have formed the world in which we live now, raises the question: is a person a particle in the system of accelerators of global forces, or the energy of interaction investigating new values, new forms of thought and new ways of existence in the world -- insisting that another world is possible? Biography. Oksana Chepelyk was born in Kiev /Ukraine/, where she lives and works today, she studied at the Art Institute in Kiev, 1978-1984.
