Cooking Image Linguistics on a Low Fire: Said, Repeated, Transformed
“Lost in browsing” Art pavilion „Cvijeta Zuzorić” Beograd 2024
This work started as a “proverb diary,” emerging as a response to the chaotic and surreal media stream that shapes contemporary reality. Certain proverbs repeatedly resurfaced, revealing themselves as resilient carriers of collective consciousness.
Through the intervention of artificial intelligence, familiar proverbs are distorted and re-emerge as altered titles that frame the images. The work explores how inherited expressions shift meaning when filtered through new technological and cultural frameworks.
The series unfolds through multiple photographic forms, including fiber-based silver gelatin prints, intimate lightboxes, and large-scale plexiglass works. Repetition becomes both method and subject: proverbs return in different visual and material states, exposing the tension between memory, language, and perception.
