FIRST CONTACT / 2011


"SNAPSHOT- CITY", Building under construction, District Trnje, Zagreb, Croatia



light installation



again, the topic of the work is making contact

the new building drastically changed the appearance of the old, crumbly neighborhood

in it's surrounding, the building looks like a foreign body, an alien

I placed the light installation at the top floor of the building

the light "matrix" was borrowed from Steven Spielberg's movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", where the first contact between the Earthlings and the extraterrestrial visitors is established through light and sound (the scientists used the five-tone motif to contact the alien space ship)

the building uses light to communicate with the neighborhood

an attempt to find a common language, to communicate and collaborate
