Holy Olga
Olga Kocsi
The basically tautological character of Holy Olga flows from the simple fact that its means are simultaneously its ends. It is the sun which never sets over the empire of modern passivity. It covers the entire surface of the world and bathes endlessly in its own glory.
Holy Olga is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images.
Holy Olga is never what hides the truth - it is truth that hides the fact that there is none.
Holy Olga is true.
Olga Kocsi (1987) is a multimedia artist based in Budapest, working with photography and video installations. She creates multi sensorial experiences relating to topics that lie in the cross-section of various scientific fields, such as the relation between reality and virtual reality and its potential evolution in the future, pushing and mapping the borders between private and public spheres, and time traveling. Her work seeks to actively involve the spectator by creating unorthodox situations for them.
