Intimate story of lines II Print

This project, emerged as a therapeutic way-out in dealing with an unwilling isolation during winter/spring 2020, caused by covid19 pandemia. The main idea behind was to experiment with lines and their interplay with dynamics of waves. In the last six-seven years, in various circumstances, Visnja has been taking a series of photographs in connection with her fascination with water surfaces. The project INTIMATE STORY OF LINES reveals various facets of water surfaces interplaying with drawing interventions based on repetitive routine of free hand line drawing over the photographs. Overwriting photographs by a dense structure of perpetual lines, is also an attempt to revive the frozen rhythm of waves and create a misty veil, partly annihilating the substance of the ground of the scene. Compulsive repetitiveness and the apparent absence of visual sharpness have always been a recognisable part of the author’s sensibility, with the line as dominant visual and existential pillar.
