Draußen ist es bewölkt. Die Straßen sind leer, es ist schwül. Einige Menschen laufen hin und her, wie Ameisen. Viele wissen gar nicht wohin. Auf einer Parkbank sitzt ein junges Paar, sie unterhalten sich angeregt. Wenn jemand vorbei geht, grüßen sie freundlich. Sie lachen. Eine Krähe landet mit wild flatternden Flügeln auf einem Ast über Ihnen. Sie schaut hinunter. Man meint, sie würde verstehen, was die beiden sagen.

Wenn ein Blatt sich von dem Zweig, an dem es hängt löst, ist das eine Trennung. Das Blatt geht in die Welt hinaus. Wir sind alle Blätter an einem großen Baum.

“I have always been fascinated by portraiture. To me a successful portrait has a presence. It has weight. The portrait evokes the emotional presence of the subject as well as the viewer. In my exploration, the defining goal is to create a portrait that becomes an experience to view. By using the familiarity of the face as the template, my process involves hand painting the developer in the darkroom, intentionally revealing specific, desired aspects of the face in the negative. Doing so creates a stark negative space that gives the portrait a lucidity. Instead of creating a realistic, straight from film portrait, I am more interested in exploring how the original image can be brought to the surface in alternative ways. The portraits embody their own unique strangeness. I enable the viewer to process impressions of a face, and of the shape of a head. I am comfortable with the viewer ultimately feeling uncomfortable. My job as an artist is to challenge the viewer. Make the viewer see differently, think differently, and most importantly, feel differently.”
The collection of experimental photography by Luka Klikovac of belgrade, serbia pictures the randomness of colorful fluid formations submerged in water. Through klikovac’s use of close-range image capturing, he has produced a series which pictures oddly-shaped and suspended liquid forms in a glass of water. The artist used solely his camera and advanced lighting system to develop the sensuous series which he hopes the public will recognize as mirroring the experience of rorschach’s psychological inblot test.
Demersal by Luka Kilkovac
‘You wander around on the street, absorbed in your own thoughts without having the time neither the will or the simple curiosity to look at other people. Just a second, one snapshot would nonetheless be enough to catch one piece of mind, the frailty of a mere thought. What is her or his story? Can I only guess it? What about the people they know, the places where they go, their fears and dreams? To which point can one imagine them by just looking at those anonyms? Does the eye of the camera have the power to sketch their stories on a single shot?’
