In the summer of 2021 I spent 10 days in Užice, Serbia in the loving and inspiring company of seventeen artists at an art residency called Hospitable Utopia. 
Students from the Art & Science department of the University of Applied Arts Vienna, curators from Improper Walls, artists based in Serbia and in Austria, supported by artists residing in Užice, the group tackled beyond the obvious definition of the two words (Hospitable and Utopia).

The photographs are printed on 100x130cm canvases.
The white blocks are ink-less areas making the very things that attracted me to take the photographs in the first place disappear. In these spaces the woven pattern of the fabric stays visible as it is not hidden by the ink.

I used these white blocks as analogy of market oriented smooth design solutions, while the same time as a way to deter one's focus from the dogmatic fetishisation of these physical manifestations of human interventions, towards the environment from which they came to be.

I installed the prints around the exhibition space using only found materials while the placement was dominantly determined by the already existing holes and nails from previous exhibitions around the space.
My photos and the way they are installed try to reverse engineer these exceptional moments of resourceful spatial awareness with thirsting for the audience to come up with their own solutions, becoming aware of the inescapable reign of human projection.

None that is physical can be preserved,
no concept we produce is ultimate.
