synopsis:
Barbara Follárd graduated in 2000 from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts (MKE). She received the scholarship of Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris between 2002 and 2003, and also in 2007. She received the Derkovits scholarship in 2007. Since 2001 she has taken part in several international group exhibitions with her video works issued in Paris, New York and Dortmund shows. In Budapest she has exhibited, amongst others, at Műcsarnok (Museum of Contemporary Art), Trafó, Stúdió Galéria, Kisterem Gallery and the Goethe Institute.
My recent videos’s theme is occupation of territory, habitatiton of space, contemplation via dancing, taming down to space. These pieces are fake video clips, poetic short movies, dance haikus. The videos are generally built on one or two, repeating movements. In the video Ball the monotony of the repetitive motions is broken, the ball functions as a musical instrument, which gives a more spontaneous and playful performance.
