Invisible landscapes / Space

ambiental audiovisual installation
dimensions / 500 m²
The architecturally compact cylinder of Meštrović Pavilion in Zagreb allows to establish and create the content of the anthropocentric situation. In the overall ambience of a sensation of great measure (over 500 m²) the power of the sound is tested to the limit. The distribution of frequencies, according to geometrical laws, multiplies to such an extent to create a circular sound vortex. The density of sound waves enables to experience it as a physical sensation, transforming the space into a physical and meditative environment.
The poetic intention of the work is to make feel a visitor in the center of the universe: to each man was given the place and importance of the center of the world, the world of the original form from which everything have origin and in which everything disappears, the nucleus of active energy.

Invisible landscapes / Part II: Sphera investigates the perceiving phenomenon of naturally originating radio signals and our awareness of the surrounding cosmos. The work consist of a reproduction of sounds received by a portable receiver of natural electric fields (VLF - very low frequency) and one photography which portraits a desert landscape. The device enables to reach and record sounds from 3 kHz to 30 kHz; noises, whistlers and choruses which inhabit the Ionosphere soundscape.

duration / 8 hours

Invisible landscapes / Part I: Earth is an 8 hours sound installation/composition, a part of a larger project La cour du domaine. The piece investigates the fields of phonography and the phenomenon of ecological perception. The composition consists of sequences of field recordings done on several natural sites over three continents. The linearity of the composition (involving no loops) invites to be present in the meditation of time, to create a space for the inner vision.
Recorded sound sequences are in an asymptotic search for pure wilderness, for the sound of a landscape devoid of human activity. The composition is not attempting to represent the experience, but it manipulates the clips of one irreproducible situation and creates a new perceptual situation, which is itself thoroughly unique and unperceivable as a whole, emphasizing the fragmentation and processuality. It works as a part of time and space that meditates over its own flow. watch video

Le vierge, le vivace et le bel aujourd'hui, S. Mallarmé
The work contemplates and investigates the quietest part of tha day and consist of one b/w instant film photography, a sound piece and a handwritten poetry; Virgin, vivid and in his all beauty today. The photography is showing the exactly surrounding landscape, taken 20 minutes before the first sun ray illuminates the green hill. The sound is a phonographic record between the moment of the instant image and the first light.

duration / 24'
The composition is formed from micro sampled sounds and silent passages between Jean Luc Godard's talks and thoughts in the film "Scenario du film Passion"(1982). The empty movie screen in front of which Godard is sitting for him is the white sheet of paper which makes visible - as said by him self - that which might have seen visible if there would be possible to see invisible - it is the open space on which he can inscribe the waves of his imagination. listen

The installation is a study and investigation of the spatial-perceptive dialogue (internal and external) and insists on strengthening and fusion the geometry of senses. It consist of two spaces, one “filled” with white light, and other completely dark where can be heard alternations of sound frequencies between 20 and 20 000 Hz.
Passing through the two spaces the visitors are experiencing the after image in their retinal receptors while the sounds are in function of soundtrack for the inner vision (fading from white to black through the color spectrum). The Experience Book is placed at the installation exit.

extended photo installation

The content of the information placed in the middle of the frame is lost in a white spot. The meaning of the scene is constituted around its edges and we are trying to grasp it. The picture shows an open sea. The site is Cabo de Roca in Portugal, the westernmost cape of Europe, a place that Luis de Camoes describes, "Here, where the land ends and the sea begins". This landscape is mediated by the image, the original slide is inserted into the single slide viewer device in natural light conditions. The light that penetrates illuminates the scene within, from the "inside" and contributes to the creation of the effect of the projected or screen image. The image is narrativized and the work has been concentrated on the time logic shaping the meditation of the state of flux, transience and nature.
Distant Intimacy
Distant Intimacy
2010
ambiental audiovisual installation
duration / 10' (loop)
dimensions / 1:1
The installation is placed in a gallery’s corner; a silhouette of a human figure that lightly vibrates in the intervals of low sound frequencies. Intimacy can’t be grasped as a phenomenon, since it is elusive, disclosing itself only at moments, only in inversion, reflection or shadow, in play and deceptions of stimuli and our reactions. Distant Intimacy denots a space in which we listen to the echo of loneliness as well as intimateness. The sound is used as a permeable zone that draws us near to a sphere of amplified sentiency and an inward gaze, wherein we find the unstable certainty of existence. Then our subjectivity became what is present to us, individuality became isolation. The route to conviction in reality was through the acknowledgement of the endless presence of self.

Study for trans-sensory organisms - activation of humans senses through defined audiovisual wave frequencies.
Bearing in mind a visitor’s “tired eye” saturated with millions of visual information, the installation insist on engaging the whole human body in perceiving the project. “1001” employs light flashes and binaural beats to create the illusion, the moment when the observer finally gazes at 1838 photography by Louis Daguerre, titled “Boulevard du Temple”. The work reconstructs the possible “truthful” depiction of this freeze moment. The observer can discern black lines/blur in motion until the moment when it becomes obvious these are people, passers-by.

Physical video installation that portrays the abandoned military island in Pula (Croatia) where at the time lived more than 4000 soldiers. The island named Katarina was closed to the public view for 50 years. It was the largest military area of North Adriatic Sea, one of the most important base of JRM (Yugoslav Navy).
Through slow dissolve the images are deconstructing one into each other. The visitors are using 3D glasses to strength the illusion. The work is placed in a light isolated room, which involves the spectator with all senses, a disconnected space from outside stimuli where the perception is conditioned to capture and change the structure identity of the space and his memory.

The project deals with acting in the historical center of Zagreb. Its focus is the activation of social-communicational aspects which this space has been lacking for quite some time.
Note, tone, melody, harmony.
The musical handrail connects the temporal and spatial distances, it travels the paths of remembrance of the pleasant moments which the visitor of Upper Town could experience in the past (e.g. in the time of the popular Music Pavilion on Strossmayer’s Promenade). The specificity of the location of the railing, the passageway or promenade, connects and creates intimate scenography inspirative to every visitor, who becomes both the sender and receiver of such stimulations. The liberating note/melody which arises from the work widens the spectre of the new social encounter, it activates and revitalizes the social-spatial ambient.

The work extends into the surrounding nature and found architecture of Momjan, a small village located immediately near the Slovenian and Italian borders. Examining the collective memory, the work is placed on the wall of the last abandoned house in the village during the II WW occupation. The house is on the slope and requires a slow and cautious gait. Passing blindfolded near the house, with the exclusion of visual sensation, the visitor feels the spotlight heat radiated on a stone wall.
The spatial-visual installation is actually experienced with other senses, stimulates their synergies and deployment of associative mechanisms.

Visual intervention in public spaces and landscapes during
"7 Days of Creation Festival"
The project was focused on the main bus station in the city of Pazin, that till nowadays doesn’t have an exact bus timetable.
A clock and a swing.
The time on the square watch is going contrary clockwise. The only meeting point with the real time is when the clock indicatiors reveal the 3.15 (AM or PM). In that exact moment, in this exact position, they are showing the earth orientation (direction North - white letter “N” instead of number 3). The people can carelessly swing and swing, waiting for the right time or the right bus.

Visual intervention in public spaces and landscapes during
"7 Days of Creation Festival"
The aim was to give the attention on the historical main square in the city of Pazin, and focus on the inevitably refresh exigency, water, that was “cutted off” in the last 14 years.
The visual intervention is the semiotic view of life, through connection of time distances. 3168 white glasses are placed on the square, reconstructing the population map and the structure of the city when the fountain was built (year 1868). Each glass* is filled with water, inviting every passenger or visitor to sit and refresh himself.
Thanks to this project the city authorities gived back the use of the fountain again, returning back the original allocation - the place of encounter, refresh and social exchange.
* 5dcl glasses rapresents the male population, 3dcl for the female and 2dcl for the childs.
