Personal Code: Consent, Apology, Warning, © 2000


The video work „Personal code” documents the artist’s visits to the bureaucratic institutions trying to acquire the official permit for a child to travel abroad, to write an official apology for committed criminal offence and getting the warning for „inappropriate behavior” while on probation. It is filmed using stable camera, capturing fragmented images and conversations with the employees of the institutions as well as formal procedures.
„The associability of this artist, publicly acknowledged in the video „Personal code”is real and inevitable, therefore – completely organic and fundamental message of this work is critical and ironic; it refers to the absurdity of bureaucracy and the consideration of a person just as a set of formal numbers filling the system” (Renata Dubinskaite „Evaldas Jansas – the innocent hero of video works”).
