The project CYL is an international ongoing series of conceptual installations, which examine the representation of speech, and the strategy of conviction in the terms of contemporary economic marketing structures.

CYL – is researching in the process of change in the social context. What are the elements that guarantee continuity within change, and in what order represented by the system are the individuals related are to each other

CYL is questioning the cultural roots. CYL works with inversion and offers no prepared explanations. The single numbers of works are marked by the progressive process and open interaction with the visitor.

CYL # 1, the installation presents a video projection in a separate room (box) that has to be entered by a single person only (one to one). At the moment that the visitor steps into the room the light shuts down and the video starts. The duration of the video is about 15 minutes. The audience is asked in suggestive speech to change his/her life.
