Year: 2006
\nType: photography & installation
\nMaterial: light boxes (310 x 200 mm), prints, various dimensions<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the solo exhibition “Nakupovanje\/Shopping” I showed the work “Big Shopper” which was first exhibited at the exhibition “Fragmented Show” in the gallery C\/O Careof in Milan, Italy. This exhibition was a final group exhibition of the participants of the Advanced Course in Visual Arts 2006 in Como, Italy.<\/p>\n

The work “Big Shopper” consists of six prints in light boxes. Each print presents my memory of a shopping experience abroad (Austria and Italy) from my childhood in the time of socialist Yugoslavia. A short story is accompanied by a photo. All photos are re-creations of my memories except for one which is taken from our family album and shows my whole family on top of a mountain looking happy and proud of our achievement. I have used this photo as a perfect metaphor for my feelings related to our shopping trips. <\/p>\n

In the exhibition “Nakupovanje \/ Shopping” in Simulaker Gallery<\/a> I have widened my research of the emotional aspects of shopping. I am interested in the relationship between shopping, desire, memory, happiness, creativity and identity. I have presented the results of my research in the form of a diagram.<\/p>\n

I have invited my friends to participate in short interviews in which I ask them about their memories of shopping in the time of socialism, their feelings on shopping today and their present shopping habits. The interviews were presented on large format prints.<\/p>\n
