Donau – Transfer, Budapest, 1993

Juli Susin, Véronique Bourgoin

Juli Susin, Véronique Bourgoin “Donau wo Kommst du her -Time Transfer” Project In Situ Galerie Folyamat, Budapest, Hungary. In the early 90s, Gabor Csazaeri, who was directing experimental films at the time, created a non-permanent art gallery in a cast-iron kiosk used as a measuring device along the Danube river. The gallery presented a cycle of exhibitions by artists/friends such as Jochen Lempert, Ursula Panhans-Bülher, historian, among others. Each artist had to produce their work using graph paper fitting the size of the machine cylinder, set-up on site for a week. With a transmission system connected to the river and linked to a mechanical pencil-fitted beam, the diagram of variations at water level appeared through a small window on the artwork winding onto the cylinder . « Donau wo kommst du her – Time Transfer » by Juli Susin and Véronique Bourgoin is a photograph printed in a lab on graph paper prepared from a photo-emulsion technique, it shows a woman looking like she is floating on the Danube river curves.
