Share your story with Nežka Zamar

In line with my artistic practice, I’ve developed a project for the city of Košice, Slovakia, that sits on the threshold between visual arts, narrative, performance, sound, and street art. As a visual artist, my main interest is to research what I call an unmaterialised image or visualise something that hasn’t been expressed using the language of visual arts. My intention during the coming two months is to become a story collector. Closely working with the community, I will collect and record stories related to specific locations around the city. I will then combine each of them with its own QR code, placing it on the exact location of the story’s origin, thus creating a soundscape; a sound walk, transforming the city into an open-air museum. The finalized web of narratives will be easily accessible to the audience through smartphones and headphones. 

I would like to encourage you to participate in this project by sharing something of your own choice. It can be a memory and something that a certain location triggered in your thoughts, an observation, a fiction. Participating in this project leaves you the option to communicate with the audience in the language of your choice.
