POINT OF VIEW (2018-2019)
'Point of View' deals with the thoughts and solutions on how to approach things. To be more precise, how to view them and take in the world around us.
The artist, gave simple and sketchy instructions which suggest to the viewer how to approach the view. To get them to change their point of view. We know that no two people see things in exactly the same way. Our point of view is our signature (Will Gompertz on artist's point of view). With that in mind, the artist asks herself if there is a right way of looking at things. The posed question, and this artwork concept, got a specific answer by chance. While walking through Zagreb, the artist stumbled upon a specifically described view. It was an ad for Goran Trbuljak's exhibition in MMSU Rijeka: ''Hundreds of viewers are currently looking in the wrong direction only you are looking properly''. This view triggered concept of the exhibition in which the artist makes the audience see things her way.
At the gallery, the artworks are displayed to pose as suggestions of views. They visually communicate with one another and with the viewer.
This artwork series suggests a strategy on how to view things that right in front of us.
By suggesting the point of view, the artist plays with the question - can we change our point of view and how can it be done?
