Irreversible
Possibility, Will, Decision, Action
2013
a triptych consisting of:
Ice, photograph, inkjet print on canvas 266 x 150 cm, video projection on print, 1’13”, silent, loop
White, video projection in space, 3’15” silent, loop
Departure, video projection, 2’34” silent, loop
Ice
Possibility: walking on ice requires courage, a brave decision. Footprints in the snow do not reveal whether I headed across the ice or gave up and turned back.
White
In the omnipresent whiteness, nothing can be seen as a possible goal. There is nowhere to go. In the absence of possibilities, any movement, except for breathing, is unnecessary.
Departure
Departure without doubts, hesitations or stopping, and leaving into the distance.
Irreversibility, Futility
2013
a diptych consisting of:
Heap, two channel video projection, 7’10“ loop, silent
Wind, photograph, inkjet print on canvas, 150 x 600 cm
As we stack the heap and the wind scatters it, should we reconcile to the futility of our strivings?
In an utopia where unwanted past events could be mended, the papers, blown away by the wind, return to the heap from which they had flown off. They return only to the same position, but in a new time as there is no going back in time.
If we were completely indifferent to a change, maybe it wouldn’t even exist. The change itself may have occurred only as a consequence of valorization and will.
Freedom in the Fall
2013
a polyptych consisting of:
Laundry, Leaves, Feathers, Papers, photograph, inkjet print on paper, aluminium composite panel
4 x (75 x 100 cm)
Flight, marker on the polycarbonate panel, 300 x 175 cm
The laundry has come loose from the clothesline, the feathers have escaped from the pillow, the leaves have fallen off the branches, and the papers have flown away from the table, all carried by the wind into the unknown. That’s how I fly through time, without control. Absence of effort, or letting go, leaves me floating higher for longer, even though, ultimately, the fall is inevitable.
Whirl
2013
metal hoops, fishing net, papers, 9 electric fans
300 x 300 x 300 cm
12 Minutes
2012
installation, artist’s book, serigraphy on tracing paper
14 pages, 42 x 33 cm
two fans
How long does a moment last and how long does the memory of it live on? Twelve moments are preserved in the space of the book: each page of it is marked with one time stamp. Gusts of wind flip them over, determining how long each moment will last and in which direction time will move further.
Windbag
2013
ready-made windbag, pier
As a part of the solo exhibition Irreversible, a pier with the windbag was erected in front of the Art Pavilion building in Zagreb. It visualizes air movement so that we can measure its direction and strength in real time. The streaming of the air, like the course of a river, indicates the irreversible flow of time.
