Professional artist
Short description: Associative perception of clouds as figures, astrology and fictional nebomantija (reading of the future by obseving the clouds). The connecting of the unknown and the unrecognisable with inherited knowledge (that already exists as information in our memory). The spectator is expected to interact indirectly, i.e. to identify with me via photohraphies and presented informations (images and words). The accelerated video taped clouds are supposed to make the spectator feel as if being close to the sky and present the constant change of shapes and informations read by clouds.
12 or more images - Digital photographs, printed on cloth, sewn as pillows (70x50 cm.) which hang freely in the space and accelerated projection on the ceiling of clouds with video beam.
Size: 3 m. x 3 m. (if the ceiling is high enough to project recorded clouds on it, if not additional wall for the projection).
