Pogled s margine/Margin View

Malo stado ovaca iz okolice Rijeke, koje privremeno boravi na lukobranu, moze nas podsjetiti na mnoge stvari, no izmedu ostaloga i na nepromjenjivost arhaicnog.
Dobrim dijelom, ovaj rad nastao je iz promisljanja o navici gledanja prema moru, pogledom koji je isprepleten sa industrijskim pejsazem, svojstvenim Rijeci.
Utoliko, samo mjesto postava ove 'privremene javne skulpture' smatram znakovitim. To je bitna tocka u javnom prostoru centra grada, gdje smo po prvi puta suoceni sa 'cistim' pogledom na more, koji se vjerojatno nije znacajno promijenio u zadnjih nekoliko stoljeca (isto kao i ovce). Kada se popnemo uza stube lukobrana, pogled mozemo 'kadrirati' prema moru ili prema post industrijskom gradu.
U skulpturu se moze uci, te ona predstavlja svojevrsni 'parazitski objekt' i 'tranzicijski oblik', koji se nalazi na razmedi nekoliko realnosti, postavljena 'na rubu' lukobrana i na margini izmedu razlicitih pejsaza, omogucava nam drugaciju perspektivu grada i pogled kroz medu-prostore segmentirane forme.

Margin View/Pogled s margine

Small flock of sheep from Rijeka surroundings is temporarily stationed on the pier, and it can remind us of many things, among others on the permanence of the archaic.
This work partly came into existance by contemplating the idea of habituation to view the sea, the view which is, typically for Rijeka, intertwined with industrial landscape.
Insofar, the very place of installing this 'temporary public sculpture' I find significant. It is an important spot in public space of the town centre, where we are facing 'pure' sea view for the first time, and that view, most probably did not change much for the last few centuries (the same as sheep). When we climb up the stairs of the pier, we can frame our view towards the sea, or towards the post-industrial city.
We can enter and walk into the sculpture which also represents kind of 'parasite object' and 'transition shape', placed 'on the edge' of the pier and allocated on the margin, allowing us to picture a different pespective of the town, by looking trough between-spaces of the segmented form.
