Between Something and Nothing
Media: Dual-channel video projection, polyester fabric screens
Description: This installation recalls the quality of light that once existed in the Meštrovic´ Gallery, a former artist’s studio (built in 1955). Sculptor Ivan Meštrovic´ created works beneath the vaulted wood ceiling of the studio, which originally contained a row of large skylights. These windows flooded the room with natural light, allowing the space to breathe with the weather and shifting time of day. In this work, I attempt to reimagine the architecture’s memory of light, imbuing the space with agency and consciousness. By resurrecting the history of the site, I create an elegy of light and space.
