Artist Statement

In this photographic series of his everyday life and routine. Through repetition and overlapping motifs follow the passage of time and brings order to the chaos of his life. It is one of the few artistic acts that I manage to do on a regular basis, in parallel with work and family responsibilities.

Food, household objects and flowers are “invisible” things that make up our everyday lives, traditionally fall into the feminine sphere of the home, and still life painting was considered “women’s art.” Just as painting of the still life was considered inferior to the academic grandeur of painting, so care for the home and the family was patriarchally considered the feminine sphere of life. The series evolved in parallel with the Entropy cycle.

(HR) U ovom fotografskom ciklusu bilježim svoju svakodnevicu i rutinu. Kroz ponavljanje i preklapanje motiva pratim protjecanje vremena te unosim red u kaos svog života. To je jedan od rijetkih umjetničkih činova koja uspjevam raditi redovito, paralelno s poslom i obiteljskim obavezama.

Hrana, kućanski objekti i cvijeće “nevidljive” stvari su koje čine našu svakodnevicu, tradicionalno spadaju u žensku sferu doma, a slikanje mrtvih priroda smatrano je “ženskom umjetnošću”. Kao što je slikanje mrtvih priroda smatrano inferiornim akademskom grande maniere slikarstvu, tako je i briga za dom i obitelj patrijarhalno smatrana ženskom sferom života. Ciklus se razvio paralelno s ciklusom Entropija.
