Art where are you?
Art who are you?
Art, what can you do and what is your purpose?
SELF-PORTRAIT OF (U+2BD1) "je ne sais quoi" is a documentary film format that deals with existential questions of society.
The author Eduard Starcic seeks the answers to these questions in artists, their creative processes and their works of art. Starcic sees this ENCOUNTER at the same time as the encounter with the person "art" itself.
The art presented itself to me as astonishingly "receptive", which succeeds again and again in turning things into an experience that LEADED to further knowledge about human existence.
IT'S behavior with events is like a game between sense and nonsense, between strength and fear, between belief and doubt. At the same time IT showeS ITself through IT works as an uncontrollable universe with an infinite depth, which is continually occupied with oppositeS, set in relation to one another .
My aim in this film is to derive the contradicting conditions of today's social processes from the contrasts of contemporary art and to process them through the senses. I would like to describe these states, which are described by shapes, movements, colors and sounds and transferred into a work of art, as states of today's society and ultimately as my own.
