9 SOLO EXHIBITIONS ▪︎ Ana Mušćet ▪︎ Korpus: Passion Fruit. Albedo
Through her exhibition Corpus: Passion Fruit, Albedo, Ana Mušćet presents two formally minimalist, refined works addressing personal heritage within the framework of social trauma. Both works are the result of her long-term research into the forced disappearances during the wars of the 1990s, particularly in the Vukovar-Syrmia region. The short video Passion Fruit explores our internal capacities to confront trauma and understand the unknown. Albedo is a temporary, site-specific installation at the back of the gallery that more directly confronts us with emptiness, creating discomfort while also questioning the role of the Sun as a metaphor for the omnipresent subconscious of the living world.
Ana Mušćet is a multimedia artist whose work is characterized by a strong commitment to long-term projects, which develop through in-depth research of social phenomena, mostly those related to collective and societal traumas. The temporary site-specific intervention at the Podroom Gallery is a continuation of her research on the topic of forcibly taken persons during the war of the 1990s, with a particular focus on the area of Vukovar-Srijem County. Her doctoral dissertation at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb also addresses this topic from the perspective of the prediction of forgiveness.
