Vito Trbuljak
Free Coin
Galerija Karas
27.6-8.7.2023.

On Tuesday, 27.6.2023. Vito Trbuljak opens his solo exhibition entitled Free Coin, at 7 pm in Karas Gallery (Ulica kralja Zvonimira 58).

In his foreword, Vito Trbuljak emphasizes:

The installation occupies the first room of the gallery, inviting visitors to explore the „charms” of commerce and human interaction. Moving into the middle section of the gallery reveals a monitor displaying the first video, showing the transformations of various items into spiral vortices. In the adjacent, dimly lit room, visitors are introduced to the second video projected onto the wall, bringing the animated spiral vortices to life. These works encourage visitors to get lost in the exploration of the swirling nature of consumer culture, engaging in the boundless fusion of the "art" of items and the art of movement, while simultaneously questioning the functioning of the gallery system. By combining these two videos and incorporating the installation and the participatory involvement of the audience, the exhibition explores the symbiosis of commerce and art, emphasizing cyclical patterns and infinite vortices that shape our world driven by consumer desires.
