WHAT HOW WHY 
WHAT
<span style="background:#FFFACD; color: black;">

<span style="background:#ac6600; color: black;">1.EMOTIONAL REALISM OR DO YOU DO YOURSELF ON YOURSELF
<span style="background:#FFFACD; color: black;">

<span style="background:#FFFACD; color: black;">It is a title of a series of photographs. There are around 18 analog photographs in the series that make part of this story. The real story itself took part during three nights and four days on an island in Croatia.  It was a short get away, for me, my best friend and his dog. I guess everybody of us had its own reasons for needing to elope. The main idea was to get at least 500 kilometers from the city and then cross the sea to the island, find a beach to settle down on and sleep under the sky for some nights and stay clean from the everyday habits. 


<span style="background:#FFFACD; color: black;">There are certain thing one needs to do for his self- therapy. I wanted to deal with my pre-anxiety before a big project I was about to embark on. To be more precise, I wanted not to think about the project and use the best of my three day short holiday break.  Without making these rules, I wanted to be one/with the sea, two/ under the sky, /three/find complete darkness compared to the stars above. Moving through these steps consciously, you might actually enter a slowmotion mode and virtually prolong the 3 day holiday into many and more - non time subjected moments. 
WHY
The title and the term that means: “ A representational quality in a narrative that is felt to be – true to – life “.  It also suggests that for some viewers, when watching a soap opera or a long running series - gives viewers a chance to form parasocial interactions with the characters. Hence my close ups shots –  are aiming to develop a parasocial relationship with the nature itself. For the cultural theorist Ian Eng who coined the term, emotional realism depends on connotation more than on denotation. Even if at the level of content the treatment is unrealistic, what is recognized as real is truth to feeling. 

<span style="background:#ac6600; color: black;">2.	FEED YOUR HEAD

<span style="background:#FFFACD; color: black;">This body of work was made with two analog  cameras during an afternoon. It is a record of a pagan ritual that takes part every year in the region of Croatia that is not as close to the sea as it is engraved in the solid rocks. Rocks are also a representation of a nationalistic right wing conservative ignorant society that now predominates the region. 
In some previous times during the history of the mentioned region, people were mostly shepherds, and so their everyday  life was mostly defined by the season, or the rain or the lack of it.  It is well know how strong and strenuous work leaves no time for the mind to overplay you. 
On the contrary, if - and - as - the  idle mind is the devil’s playground, feed your head would be a metaphor on what is my position toward this people’s non- evolution. 
The images, both in color and in black and white, show  groups of people, predominantly white males but also women and children wearing masks. The most used mask is circa a meter long sheepskin made totem planted on the top of the persons head. The atmosphere should be one of a celebration, while in reality it is not. 
To play with the eerie feeling I received from the experience and to mix it with the already formed opinion on the region where the pagan ritual is taking place. To propose a message to the same people to feed their heads with something more useful than nationalistic propaganda. To give another option on how to read them, or at least a musical background to it, with the last lines of Jefferson Airplane’s White Rabbit song.</span>

U T O P I A	
Melvyn Bragg
MEANS NO PLACE
the idea has been there since human thought began
thomas moore - utopia , no place — already kind of an idea

the conditions in england at that time 

idealised perfect society - egypt time

the first kind of realisable utopia - better world for the public — plato’s republic - eugenics - selective breeding of human beings 

filtering out - tourtures, terrors 

human society was always driven to utopias, for  producing the best  conditions for everybody in society

religious  ideas - paradox 

all happy - suffering gone

writing utopias - wish to evade death

death is the ultimate anti utopian thing - if you can only find how to become immortal - ultimate utopia

scientific minds see the problem of selective breeding and overpopulation 



platos republice is = warriors virtues civic virtues 


post darwinism - a lot of information that makes us human beings in genetic information.
its not institutions but human nature , inbread 
human unhappiness or happiness is genetic

within a 100 years genetic engineering will allow parents to erase the diseases
interbreeding will be impossible
the modification of human nature in a way

the viruses are going strong nowadays the bacteria will get us

Ferdinand Tönnies (German: [ˈtœniːs]; 26 July 1855, near Oldenswort, Eiderstedt, North Frisia, Schleswig – 9 April 1936, Kiel, Germany) was a German sociologist and philosopher. He was a major contributor to sociological theory and field studies, best known for his distinction between two types of social groups, Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft. He co-founded the German Society for Sociology, of which he was president from 1909 to 1933, after which he was ousted for having criticized the Nazis. Tönnies was considered the first German sociologist proper,[1] published over 900 works and contributed to many areas of sociology and philosophy.

==SESSION 5==
<span style="background:#F08080;color: white;">pitch for the Eye projecT


Doing A research about the whereabouts of a bust of a family member, my grandfather’s brother, an ex national hero, a communist politician and a whole hearted socialist in the period after the WW2.
The bust that was erected on one of the main squares in the town of Sinj, disappeared with the new political regimes. 
I want to find it. 

He helped industrialise the region he grew up in, bringing in the thread factory “ Dalmatinka” in the province of Sinj, and by doing so, producing a significant shift on many levels in the community of the region.
The very meaningful one is  that it shook the grounds of a too-well-rooted patriarchy;  Being a thread factory, the industry had predominantly women employed, women then started wearing pants , driving bicycles, shockingly! 

My aim - to track the disappearance and record it. 
Audio video, photo. 
visual inspiration - C. MArker. La jetée. 

I'm doing it because its possibly an interesting little story that deals with  collapsing  of ideas, decomposing  power myths, resurrecting family myths, playing. 
Will try to leave the drama out. 
I might even concentrate on the fact that he died the same day I was born, and how I might actually be his reincarnation.
