Screen Interference

All day, there was nothing but interference on television…

In Screen Interference, Roman Hodirev explores the realm of errors and malfunctions as an independent art form. The works capture distortions in an old CRT television signal, transforming them into autonomous events of perception—trembling, unstable and stripped of the image’s familiar steadiness. Inspired by Fluxus aesthetics and Nam June Paik’s video experiments, Hodirev turns a technical malfunction into a meditative act. Here, the screen ceases to be a window onto the world and becomes itself: a trembling fabric of light slipping between sleep and waking. Screen Interference is more than a series of paintings: it is a chronicle of a fading signal, an attempt to capture the moment when reality dissolves into vibrations, ripples and the breath of forgotten machines.
