Two series of works were produced for an exhibition at the Josip Račić Gallery –
National Museum of Modern Art in Zagreb, Croatia, both based on the historical and physical context of the Vranyczany-Dobrinović Palace, the building that houses the museum's collection.
The first series is based on photographic documentation of the palace interiors from the golden age of its financiers, the Vranyczany-Dobrinović family, who made it their representative home for several decades. The silkscreen printing technique was used to transfer them onto graphic paper, using as pigment dust collected on-site during routine cleaning following reconstruction work. The result is faded images of photo templates.
The second series is based on recently taken photographs of the interior of the Museum as an improvised warehouse where a collection of 12,000 works of art is stored. These photographs are displayed in freestanding double-sided lightboxes, integrated into the installation with stands borrowed from the Museum. These photographs are displayed as freestanding double-sided lightboxes, integrated into an installation with pedestals borrowed from the Museum. The pedestals, which, in addition to serving as supports for artworks, have now become artistic objects themselves.
The works were produced for the solo exhibition
