Neckties

The work “Neckties” reveals just how much worry and different neurosis can neckties reveal when are met in a dark room. And at the same time they are quite funny as they show “dramatic” masculinity jerking an artificial phallus. The work "Neckties" consists of ties' projection and screen work with shrinking- releasing tie loop. The projection "Neckties" consists of various scanned neckties. Their sound was recorded by a special computer program, which converts images into sound. Every sound has specific Audio accents, which were heigtened manually from hearing. 'Neckties' set reminds the incomplete chromosomes set ( Y ). The second component is another detail of necktie, which is displayed on the 19' screen. In tightening and releasing move I observed masculine masturbation moves. Necktie as such has various meanings and links, statments, but I chose the link to "Phallus". "Phallus is not the physical body organ, but the goverment/power symbol, organ." "Woman desires phallus, but gets only penis."
