Works
The Home
The Home series is a body of work that explores the fine line between public and private spaces, and the fragility of everyday patterns that exist in one’s home. TV screens divide furniture and spaces into sections. Participants walk through and around the environments resulting in a fully transformational experience.
The Chairs
The Chairs series focuses on chairs that become representative of the human body. Through a slicing of the chairs with screens the works become a commentary on our fragile and fragmented human condition. In the works, the chairs support the screens, while the screens cut the chairs into separate planes and distort their form. The screens create the visual effect of a loss of gravity and elevate the sense of displacement that is present in the works.
Self-portrait
The Self-portrait is composed of thirty canvases that are stretched with articles of the artist’s clothing. Texture is the central element of the work, which serves to emphasize the vast complexity of our layered individuality. The installation is variable in dimension.
Balance
This body of work is comprised of separable components, which makes it variable in composition. Water-like resin is used to imitate water's visual properties which were modified to explore our perception of the relationship between the internal and the external world. Balance emphasizes the human presence and its tangled interactions with the environment and within it self.
Apparition
Apparition is a project that challenges the perception of an image projected onto unsteady surface. A video of a hand trying to catch the thread is projected onto the moving thread, which speaks about tactility and inability of grasping things, resulting in a mysterious feeling. It underlines the relation between the material and the digital world.
TV
These series of works employ everyday materials and Fresnel lenses (recovered from discarded TV sets). Objects are enclosed between the transparent planes, creating the illusion of depth and the lost of gravity.
Revealing
This work resulted from the idea of impeding object’s function to convey everyday frustrations. A book, Remnants of Another Age by Nikola Madzirov is enclosed in a screen. On the left side is a poem written in Macedonian, on the right is the English translation, which can be read word by word through the hole. This is meant to represent the barriers of communication experienced as an outsider.
Never getting there
Never getting there is a work composed of TV screens that form three sides of a cube attached to the wall. Walking toward and away from the piece dramatically transforms the viewer’s experience of the work.
