This show took place at Gallery FLU, (Belgrade University Art Gallery) Belgrade, Serbia from the 14th May to the 24th May 2011, Curated by Nikola Suica, Professor of Fine Art at Begrade University, faculty of Art.
Nikola Suica gave a lecture at the gallery on the show and Museum of Optography on the 19th May at 7 pm.
Many thanks to the Director of the gallery Jelena Spaic.
A number of video pieces relating to one of the Museum of Optography’s central ideas of boundary and death are shown. Death and the Monument, Gravity and Others and Magic Mountain together create a Trichotomy of upward/ downward and static scenarios, seesawing between life and death states, the language of cinematic tension is used as melodrama here played out in a relentless breathless physicality. See description of my video work :
Physical Matters, on Derek Ogbourne, Gymnasion
ON DEREK OGBOURNE'S VIDEO WORK BY SUSANA MEDINA
Magic mountain is static document of a mountain under moonlight, WDF Warsawa 72 and The Human Optogram are also shown in this show, both documentaries of sorts as opposed to the fictions of Death and the Monument and Gravity and Others.
