Untitled (Archive Fine Arts Museum) is a body of work developed from a series first presented at the solo exhibition Untitled (Archive Vranyczany-Dobrinović Palace) at the Josip Račić Gallery, organized by the National Museum of Modern Art in Zagreb, Croatia (2023). The works reflect on the transitional state of museum institutions, focusing on the temporary storage of collections and the spatial dislocation caused by post-earthquake reconstruction.

Photographs of provisional storage settings—shown in double-sided lightboxes—are exhibited together with pedestals borrowed from the museum itself. These pedestals, repurposed from their functional role, become sculptural elements within the installation, blurring the line between support structure and exhibited object.

For the 29th Slavonian Biennale (Waldinger Gallery, Osijek, Croatia, 2024), the series expanded with new photographs taken in the emptied exhibition spaces and the storage depot of the Fine Arts Museum in Osijek, an institution similarly affected by displacement during energy renovation works. The project resonates with the Biennale’s focus on the visibility and continuity of institutional presence in times of crisis and transition.
