LUCIJA BOGUNOVIĆ
TODAY THE SKY IS BLUE
6.-27.2.2024.

On Tuesday, 6.2.2024. Lucija Bogunović opens her solo exhibition entitled Today the sky is blue, at 7 pm in Karas Gallery (Ulica kralja Zvonimira 58).

In her foreword, Iva Jurić emphasizes:

“The photographs show the sky that Bogunović photographed from April 4th to June 4th, 2022 on locations where she would find herself once a day, with an hour difference from the previous day (April 4th at 12:00, April 5th at 13:00 etc.). Fascinated by the impermanence of the sky, she approaches the photography process ritually (turning on the alarm, waking up, constantly carrying the camera, becoming aware of a certain moment in the day, etc.), and by constantly recording it, she tries to create a relationship between herself as an ephemeral subject and it (the sky) as a constant. As an observer, she takes control of time for a short time and inscribes it in a way, i.e. marks it and later transfers it to the fabric.”

Preface

Biography:

Lucija Bogunović (1998) has been studying New Media at the Academy of Fine Arts at the University of Zagreb since 2019. As an artist she collaborated with Mostar Street Art Festival, Događanja Gallery, Žuta kuća in Istria, and in 2022 she was selected by Organ Vida to participate on a residency organized by photography platform Futures. In 2023, she participated in the project „I Saw Our Leaders. Reinterpreting Hungarian Poems Via Contemporary Art Practices“ and her work was published on the official website of the European Alliance of Academies.

In her artistic practice she explores the conceptual relation between photographic medium and time in depicting fragments of life and repetitive events, as well as the personal relationship between the meaning of home and a roof over the head through different media and perspectives.

The exhibition will be open during the period from 6. to 27.2.2024.
