Sonja Dimovska, graphic installation
Time and Space Died Yesterday.
Why should we go back?
|
Sonja Dimovska's graphic
installation, entitled simply "Time and Space - Space and
Time", consists of twenty-one graphic prints, placed inside
the space of three vertical ribbons, which suggests a flow
images to that of photographic film. |
As a finger print
base, made by screenprinting technique, the Artist uses plexiglass -
an aparently unussual graphic material. The transparency of the
material and the special graphic places in that manner causes visual
sensations, all of which function within are idea of self-analysis
which Sonja uses to present her opinion that "neither Time or Space
are real"; the only timeless and spaceless thing is the person
themself. The direction of movement in the reading of the work is a
spiral. Everything begins in the mirror - as space which limits, but
offers depth. The self-portrait as a print of a moment of sincerety
("Truth" of time), is a visual, or even transparent artistic sign
which has its reference inside the viewer. Self-portrait is an
expression of subjectivity of the artist, it presents an
uncompromising analysis and fragmentation of the viewer; it is a
beggining and an end in one, at once. Although the observed figure
slowly disappears from view, it gradually reappears in the search
for personality as a final deffinition of the eternal, positive and
negative circular movement of all. With the metafigural presentation
in a covert way, trough retorical and realistic - seeming narative
presentation, the Artist deliveres temporal and special fluctual
trught placed in opposition to the objective world.
