About The Artwork

Limited edition print from wet plate collodion positive, Pigment ink print on archival paper for high quality fine art and photographic reproduction - 310gsm. Unframed, signed and numbered , edition of 6+2AP. Does the technology limit in any ways the way we think, the way we love, the way we see the body, effectively transforming and re-configuring our social relationships? Is the technological medium a simple conduit, or is it a managed apparatus, in which actions and options are shaped for us? While the advent of the internet has enhanced information dispersal and communication worldwide, it has also had a negative impact on the sexual and social wellness of many of its adolescent users. Social media has revolutionized the way people communicate, behave and interact. With this virtual landscape we connect with others at an unprecedented magnitude, speed and level of intimacy. There can be little doubt that narcissism as we have defined it is on the increase and has been for some decades. The camera phone means you are never without a device to record the fabulousness of your life in a stream of full frontals. Despite the technology and all of advantages and disadvantages that it gave us, my choice of medium for this series was a 19th Century photographic process with an intention to step into the presence of a contradiction between control and risk. This was a move that steps back from what we used in these days of instant satisfaction and the imperative to control everything. By choosing this process as a medium I intensify the image not only aesthetically but also ethically, because I take the risk of ruining it. This series disrupts old discourses by creating worlds of intense theatrical erotica and isolated intimacy within compositions we already know. The dots we see on the subjects makes reference to technological mediums and social norms obscured by absurdity. The phrase dot-com is used to refer generically to almost anything today. Every image has been named to represent our ordinary daily struggles that a human beings always had and probably always will have, despite the influence of technology in our life. With this body of work I'm inviting the viewer to nourish himself in alterity. The imagery is focused on gestures and compositions of figures which seem not to be engaged with the viewer. The subjects do communicate moods and human uncertainties, which can be detected by their body language. What the internet gives, the internet also takes away. What it seems to be removing from a whole generation of our youth is a healthy, appropriate sexual development. Please note: In context pictures are not necessarily to scale and are for illustrative purposes only. If you have any questions about this artwork or any other piece, contact me and i will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you very much for taking an interest in my work it means a lot to me.

Embarking on an artistic odyssey, Zelko's journey is intricately woven with the transformative tapestry of personal experiences. Originating from the heart of former Yugoslavia, the indelible echoes of the Bosnian war in the early '90s distinctly contour Zelko's artistic identity. His creations, adorned with somber and introspective themes, become a poignant language, delicately conveying the profound interplay of vulnerability and control a testament to the defining events that have sculpted his existence. ​ Recognised as a consummate artist, Zelko meticulously refines his craft through tireless self-teaching and daring experimentation. His paintings and photographs emerge as eloquent vessels, each narrating personal memories and inner perspectives infused with a profound emotional depth that resonates intimately with viewers. Within the realm of photography, Zelko masterfully employs the 19th-century wet plate collodion process, endowing his pieces with a timeless allure that speaks to the enduring essence of the human condition. In the artist's expression through paintings, Zelko ardently captures the delicate dance between inner energy and outward expression. Each piece encapsulates a singular moment, harmonising with the radiant energy flowing throughout the creative process. The artistic journey, a profound act of liberation, unfolds as Zelko releases his core essence onto the canvas. Layer by layer, sgraffito by sgraffito, he metamorphoses into a conduit, channeling inner energy into tangible mediums, thereby transforming the canvas into a vessel of profound expression. As Zelko's artistic odyssey unfolds, his dedication remains unwavering in exploring the profound connection between self-discovery and artistic expression. ​Now based in Australia, Zelko continues to push the boundaries of his art and exhibit his work to a global audience.
