The idea behind the project is to present various, independent approaches to culture and its uniqueness and simplicity:

• from Armenia: series of exhibition projects under the title 'Ghost town' ; works refer to earthquake, which took place in Giumri in 1988. Soviet authorities initited the building of new objects however they have never finished them. In his works Vahram Aghasyan presents half-finished ruins of the future, that never arrived.

• from Azerbaijan: the project titled 'La Vie en Rouge' is based on the works selected through a 'red filter'. This method of selection revealed extremely motley mix of completely different understanding of this expression.

• from Georgia: the aim of the project under the title 'Structural changes' is to show different approaches to results of changes, which are showed not only fragmentarily and figuratively, but also in broad outline.

Beside the exhibition - the Caucasian video art & experimental movies review will be presented at Zamek Ujazdowski (25 & 28 June).
