Abstract | U suvremenom ritmu života riskantno je dopustiti bijeg ijednoj sekundi; pritisnuti neracionalnim normama i ispunjavanjem projektiranih očekivanja, mrežno povezani, ali socijalno razdvojeni, sputavani priljevom negativnih informacija upitne istine te mitologijom o ekonomskoj sigurnosti, teško je oteti se negativnim mislima. Kao odgovor na ovu situaciju javlja se obrambeni mehanizam u obliku nostalgije koji zabrinjavajuće raste u mlađoj populaciji. Upravo tom nostalgijom bavi se “Disanje pogledom“, serija devet minijatura koje prikazuju trenutke spokoja, radost uzrokovanu pukim postojanjem, sigurnosti u sutra, pluća ispunjena mirisima seoskoga ljeta i oči ispunjene nebeskim svodom, bezbrižno srljanje u nepoznato uz osmijeh na licu... Svaki prikazani motiv pomno je odabran kako bi što bolje prezentirao destinacije na koje vode okidači sjećanja, sve u svrhu očuvanja tih dragocjenih trenutaka kako nikada ne bi izblijedjeli u vrtlogu vremena. Minijature su odabrane kao vakuumiranje cijele “senzacije“ i supernove osjećaja u nešto toliko skromno, intimno i sitno, ali s velikom odgovornosti. U ovom kontekstu one su riznica suvenira fragmenata života razigrano postavljene u, naizgled, praznom i bijelom prostoru gdje sugeriraju svoju prisutnost koja, nakon prvog otkrivanja, djeluje invazivno na potrebu za nastavkom potrage. |
Abstract (english) | In the contemporary pace of life, it is risky to allow an escape for even a second; pressured by irrational norms and fulfilling projected expectations, digitally connected yet socially separated, restrained by the influx of negative information of questionable truth and mythology about economic security, it is difficult to resist negative thoughts. In response to this situation, a defensive mechanism in the form of nostalgia emerges, which alarmingly grows in the younger population. It is precisely this nostalgia that "Breathing with gaze" deals with, a series of nine miniatures that depict moments of tranquility, joy caused by sheer existence, security in tomorrow, lungs filled with the scents of rural summer, and eyes full of the celestial dome, carelessly rushing into the unknown with a smile on the face,... Each depicted motif is carefully chosen to better present the destinations to which memory triggers lead, all in order to preserve these precious moments so that they never fade in the whirlwind of time. Miniatures are chosen as the vacuuming of the entire "sensation" and supernova of feelings into something so modest, intimate, and small but with great responsibility. In this context, they are a treasure trove of souvenirs of fragments of life playfully set in, seemingly, empty and white space where they suggest their presence which, after the initial discovery, appears invasive in the need to continue the search. |
