round drawing of a portrait from photography In 2014, MajaMilovanović started a project titled "The Myth of the Constructor". The whole work is based on discovered artefacts (photographs and diaries) of a certain citizen Luke Popovic (1926-2006), construction engineer from Kikinda, who lived and worked in Belgrade. He also worked in Germany, Africa, on the territory of former Yugoslavia, on the construction of highway infrastructure, water supply, etc. His memories and authorial photographs are reinterpreted (by artist) mainly by traditional media and techniques. She abstracts them, retains the intimacy of memory that old analogue photography allredy have, and at the same time gives the viewer a space of personal perspective. She also uses new media to articulate the context of an individual in contemporary society, through contrast or comparisons, emphasizing lasting values, or what is constantly repeated or slipping away (to us) in everyday life…. Portraits from photos were selected based on the image quality specifics and the intimate communication between the photographer and his models at the time. The photos are blurred, dark or too bright technically "incorrect", while the recorded moments were intended by the photographer to "catch" a moment of coincidence, sensuality, joy... such as skiing accidents, caressing a puppy, a ferry ride...
