The Labyrinth / Lavirint  2006

(in collaboration with Tanja Markovic / u saradnji sa Tanjom Marković )

The installation was conceptualized as a labyrinth made up of tulle surfaces, stretched from the floor to the ceiling. "Theoretical slogans", consisting of short reflections of the philosophers, historians and theorists of art and culture, as well as of artists themselves, were printed on these surfaces. Because tulle is barely visible in gallery space with white walls, special lighting was used to make it appear as if the slogans were floating in space. In this way, the position of the text in space pointed to the direction of motion through the labyrinth. The texts were chosen to question, comment and dispute one another, and in doing so lead sideways and return to starting premises - as in every labyrinth.

 

Rad je koncipiran kao lavirint sastavljen od površina tila, razapetih od plafona do poda galerije, na kojima su odštampane "teorijske parole" (citati i kratke refleksije  filozofa, istoričara i teoretičara kulture i umetnosti, kao i samih umetnika). Zbog osobine belog tila da je jedva vidljiv u prostoru galerije sa belim zidovima, i uz pomoć specifičnog osvetljenja, izgleda da tekstovi lebde u vazduhu. Na taj način, položaj teksta u

prostoru ukazuje na pravac kretanja kroz lavirint. Izbor tekstova je takav da oni jedni druge preispituju, komentarišu i osporavaju i time dovode do "stranputica" i ponovo vraćaju na početne premise – kao usvakom lavirintu.
