About the missing parts…
Author: Jasmina Čubrilo
The past is somehow always situated in Piranesi-like endless, “historical” maze-the wreck, designed of the oblivion, and of the interpretations of the past events according to the perspective of the current moment. If “history” is to mean the stable and tough collective memory, produced for the needs of the particular society, than “memory” presents the soft and changeable, “uncertain” version of the memory/oblivion for the particular society, as well as for the most intimate version, for each of us separately. The memory of an individual represents the most specific, unrepeatable highly sophisticated and individualized “historical” text in which History, Memory, ethnical, racial, religious, social, social status and every other belonging overlap, distilling any kind of generalizations, and getting them back into the domain of the concrete experience, multiple reality, to life itself actually.
Marc Auge has written once that the space is necessary frame for memories and if happens that our memory fails, it is just because the memories are leaving its spatial frame. If we take the suppressed as “unfaithful memory”, memory whose spatial frame has been destroyed, then the return of the suppressed would imply the reconstruction of the spatial frame which disappeared with the intention “to feel again what has been missing”.
Installations of Zorica Vasic and Margareta Stanojlovic (re)construct the spaces of the childhood of these two artists.
In the second case, “the search for the lost time” was initiated by the occasion which every mother/parent experiences with the birth of a child, and that is the recognition of (possible) one’s own “first steps” in discovering the world, exactly by the of all those ways in which child interprets, organizes its space. Installation connects two spatial frames: current, Teodora’s and past, Margareta’s. In other words, in the space which is formed by child’s present, we have the space of our own (perfect) past written. The installation brings together to the same level memory of the distant feeling of carelessness, the idea of innocence, the assumption of the management of reality without mediations as well as the awareness of the current series of conventionalized relations which produce every day reality.
Why are we obsessed with the search of the past? It’s probably because the missing parts keep tripping us.
