Inkjet photo collage mounted on board
The source material for this series of collages are photographs depicting a female figure, the artist’s mother, in scenes shot in the late 60s/early 70s socialist Yugoslavia. Using a series of cutting and folding gestures, the artist sometimes removes all context and surroundings around the figure of her mother as a young woman, leaving the figure suspended in the midst of empty frames; other times she folds the figure outside the edges of the photograph, or outside the edges of the paper itself.
