A video work by Siarhei Shabohin, “Asymmetrical Glossary,” has been shortlisted for the FluxusMuseum Prize for Experimental Video 2026.
The international competition, organized by the Fluxus Museum in Greece, supports experimental practices in the field of video and brings together artists from around the world working with innovative audiovisual forms.
The finalist artists will receive a grant to develop their work and will take part in the final exhibition at the Fluxus Museum on the Greek island of Paros. The winner and recipients of additional awards will be announced after the exhibition concludes.
The competition was held in several stages. First, an international commission of curators and artists selected one hundred projects from submissions received from around the world. These works were presented online on the streaming platform FluxusMuseumTV, where viewers could ознакомиться with the shortlisted proposals and participate in an open selection stage. Following this stage, 11 artists were selected as finalists.
The video by Siarhei Shabohin, “Asymmetrical Glossary of Information,” is a video installation created for the exhibition Slit. The work consists of 288 paired images, each formed by two visual effects placed side by side and separated by a slit, assembled into a continuous accelerated sequence lasting 3 minutes and 26 seconds. Rapidly shifting at the threshold of perception, the video creates an asymmetrical glossary in which meaning emerges through collision, displacement and juxtaposition rather than linear narration. Encompassing cosmography, geology, architecture, science, erotics, war, monuments and queer memory, the work presents the slit as a universal operative form that connects natural processes, political violence, bodily experience and strategies of resistance to monumentality, turning the archive into a dynamic field of thought and resistance.
