ruzINA

Instalacija ruzINA idejno i prakticno objedinjuje cetiri nekada snazne rijecke industrije – Rafineriju nafte Rijeka, brodogradilište 3. maj, Torpedo i Luku Rijeka.
Instalacija je ciljano postavljena na rijeckom lukobranu, nasuprot Ininom postrojenju na Mlaci, koje više nije u funkciji.
ruzINA tematski predstavlja napola ugaslu Rafineriju nafte Rijeka, a izradena je u jednoj od hala bivseg Torpeda.
Za izradu ruzINE koristen je simbolican materijal- napukle ruzinave industrijske cijevi iz brodogradilista 3.maj, u kontrastnoj kombinaciji s toplinom vune kao metaforom zivota.
Kao takva, ruzINA predstavlja spomenik Rijeci, nekada snaznom industrijskom gradu i svim Rijecanima koji su nekada bili ili su jos uvijek, svojim zivotima vezani uz rijecku industriju.

ruzINA ( RUST )

Both as an idea and a physical creation, ruzINA represents the unity of four once strong industries of Rijeka: INA Oil Refinery, 3.maj Shipyard, Torpedo factory and the Port of Rijeka.
ruzINA has intentionally been located on this very spot of the Pier - facing the oil facilities of INA Mlaka (which are no longer in function) ruZINA is the metaphor of the decaying industry of Rijeka.
The materials used and the location of the welding studio are also symbolic: the rusty pipes come from 3.maj Shipyard. The installation has been welded in Torpedo, a factory which no longer exists.
Because of its attributes which contrast the cold metal pipes, wool has been used as the metaphor of life.
As such, ruzINA honors not only Rijeka and its strong industry of the past, but all the people who have been connected to Rijeka's decaying industry.
