Code L - Fragments is a video installation created by two synchronized projections onto transparent screens. They integrate shadows and silhouettes of visitors and reflections of the architectural elements into the body of the installation. What emerges is a space-inside-of-space into which the visitors enter. According to the curator Peter Tomaz Dobrila, “The artist used to place humans at the center of the natural environment in her earlier works, reappropriating the image of the human body by emphasizing certain parts, such as eyes. In her recent works, however, the human figure blends with the environment; it becomes a body - shadow, moving across the given ambience. The internalization of this relationship unravels the corporeality, unlocks the interior, and highlights the intimacy of the experience. The figures are abstracted into ephemeral creatures, who transcend into eternity of existence and offer the viewer a space for reflection.”
The artist is presenting a selection from a new series of videos, which she originally recorded for Milko Lazar's new opera Code L. Inspired by Roland Barthes' Fragments of Lover’s Discourse, it is fueled by myths, archetypes, philosophical works, and the intimate. (Source: Nataša Prosenc Stearns)
