Anita Miloš / Atrophy of Space
Solo exhibition
FROM THE PREFACE OF THE EXHIBITION
The work consists of a series of digital drawings on which everyday products are isometrically depicted, which, through their interrelationship, create the perception of some possible or impossible space, place or non-place.
Products such as escalators, elevators or cable cars instill social trust in the safe, reliable and acceptable mobility of society within a certain space, without thinking about the manipulative direction of their users. At the same time, products such as folding and multifunctional furniture are based on availability 'as needed', which is why their shape allows for minimal space occupancy at the moment of non-use. Accordingly, a similar approach can be found in various barrier products whose function is manifested in the occasional need to design the space of use, adapted to a particular situation.
Axonometric projection, in this case isometrics, defines the interrelationship of all these products, which creates spatial patterns or patterns that simultaneously depict both infinity and non-place, and try to indirectly suggest the idea of systematic establishment of order and social adaptation within them.
The paper seeks to open the question of systematically determined frameworks of behavior, movement and reaction of society based on self-awareness, self-control and self-criticism, which results in the deprivation of purposefulness within a certain time and space.
