Exploration is a vital element of the human spirit, for both understanding and action. We found a way out of everyday life and conventions by building Galeria ROZ, a mobile structure that is assembled every time in an expressive and isolated natural environment. The physical structure of the gallery, has 5 meters in diameter and 2,25 meters in height. Besides the fact that it is an unconventional space, it offers another level of creation - the direct connection with a natural environment, far from the conventions established by the urban exhibition spaces. Art is brought into a relationship with a strong and expressive natural environment. Nature, by its undeniable force, assimilates or rejects humans and their creations. These events in unaltered areas are more than ecological gestures, they represent a multidirectional signal involving the rethinking of the human-nature relationship. We are interested in this authentic dialogue between a unique natural space and artistic interventions. The Galeria ROZ itself becomes an object exhibited in the great gallery of nature.
Why ROZ (pink)? - "Red expresses vitality and high tension, but pink is an attractive alternative which helps with the softening of an energy that is otherwise hard to bear. Apparently, pink represents a form of relaxation. And this is where the contrast comes in - the pink of the structure is placed in contrast to the rugged natural setting."
The result of these actions is recorded in film and photo. The public becomes a witness through films presented in social media, in an exhibition space or in a film festival.
