Ikarova želja, 2018./2019., ambijentalna cjelina digitalnih otisaka i audiozapisa
Icarus’ wish, 2018/2019, ambient whole of digital prints and audio
recordings
70 x 100 cm
Digitalno zabilježen prizor jednog ljetnog popodneva na moru. Zvuk valova, konstantni zvuk cvrčaka, jeka, dječji smijeh. Zrake sunca na valovima dobivaju svoj drugi oblik i postaju na neki način opipljive. Nije li Ikar pokušao dodaknuti Sunce? Nije poslušao očeva upozorenja, prišao je preblizu Suncu, vosak na krilima se rastopio, Ikar je pao i utopio se u moru. Nastavlja li se neostvarena želja? Je li u ovom slučaju ostala prisutna negdje između neba i mora?
(iz umjetničine izjave)
Digitally recorded scene of a summer afternoon at sea. The sound of waves, the constant sound of crickets, echoes, children's laughter. The sun's rays on the waves take on a different shape becoming tangible in a sense. Didn't Icarus try to touch the Sun? He did not listen to his father's warnings, he came too close to the Sun, the wax in his wings melted, Icarus fell and drowned in the sea. Is the unfilfilled desire continuing? Is it, in this case, still present somewhere between the sky and the sea?
(from the artist's statement)
