From objects and their positions to the process: this was the motto of the 1970 Belgrade exhibition. Its lesson manifested itself as soon as the OHO group noticed that they needed fewer and fewer concrete objects to register and communicate the effects. The effect was not dematerialized only because the process was recorded on film: the essence of the dematerialization in the OHO-vian work was their interest in the materially undefined process as such and in the energies that move and guide it, and these they considered to be indisputable mental facts. As they grew more and more interested in basic cosmic phenomena, the group decided to study and present the basic processes which are in no way linked with optically provable registration. Their documentation consisting of photographs and drawings is not formal or legal evidence but an element of reference for the spectator to their metaphysical and spiritual experiences.
