BREATHING, 2005 Urban Installation |
| SMALL MEDITATIONS ON THE BREATHING NAKED BODY |
|
Penetration into the territory of the other is
an aggression upon the right to private ownership, aggression upon the
thoughts, emotions, intimacy - the integrity of the other and taking control
over her/his identity. The ultimate body - the best, the most beautiful, the most productive, the cheapest, just yours? Ultimate control - control over the ultimate body. Public and private. Picture and word. Antagonism or synergy of the picture and the word - the eternal dilemma of the advertising architecture. The radio, the TV, the press, the film, the BTL* media differ only by the level and the focus of aggression. And among them A BILLBOARD - AN ULTIMATE AGGRESSION OF THE PICTURE ACCOMPANIED BY WORD that can not be avoided, with the largest target. The picture is public, the word is intimate, or vice versa? The body has become public. The body rules the instinct, the emotions, the ratio. Who rules the body? The body as a capital used by the advertising brokers to make the turnover of the large corporations. They rule the public domain and whenever they identify with the public domain they rule you too - your personal - private domain. The body is a brand in itself, and when the body breathes it thinks. The question is what is the benefit of the body, the naked body, what is the benefit of the breathing naked body, what is the benefit of the thinking body - can this body think - obviously YES. BUT WHAT ABOUT IT? THIS IS A PROJECT FOR CONDITIONING OF THE HUMAN AWARENESS IN THE CONSUMERS' SOCIETY. IT IS A CONSTRUCTION OR, IN THE DISCOURSE OF THE PICTURE, AN URBAN INSTALLATION DEVOTED TO THE EFFECT OF THE GLOBALISM UPON EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF HIS/HER NATURAL DISPOSITIONS, INTELLECT, SKIN COLOR, ETHNICITY, REGARDLESS OF THE IDENTITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL - THE IDENTITY REDUCED TO A SINGLE QUALITY - A CONSUMER. SELF-REFERENTIAL CONSUMER. * (those who don't know the meaning of the abbreviation are not missing but just another aggression) Gordana Dautovska Popovska, born in Skopje, 1970.

LOOK THROUGH ME AND YOU WILL SEE Installation, 2005 |
|
A
polyptich composed of four parts. The parts are, actually, four photographs
with fragments of female figure printed on transparent basis so that one can
literally look through them. The transparency symbolizes a view back in
time, a view upon various events sublimed into one given moment - the moment
of NOW. |

MATERIAL AND PRODUCTION, II Installation, 2005 |
|
As the title says, the mausoleum is a
continuation of the procedure from the first artwork. When placed in a
mausoleum, the character M I P referred to as being dependant on his own
technological achievements, is dead. Dead since he has buried a particular
way of thinking and evaluating things. The mausoleum can be also taken as
the literal destruction of man, who is trying to turn everything into
numbers (facts), while forgetting his basic reason of existence. It's up to
us to make the choice. Shall we make a step forward or shall we vanish. Dalibor Trencevski, born in Skopje, 1982. Student at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Painting, in the class of the Prof. Blagoja Manevski. Contact: ul.
