Mia Paller: BARRICADES (photographic series, 2020-ongoing)

mia.paller@gmail.com, +31640016527

project description

is a series of analogue photographs and frottages of the barricades from the ‘’10-day war’’ for Slovenia (1991). These concrete pyramids were roughly dropped by the road in the village of my parents and have become overgrown with ivy and shrubs. As I was born in 1995, the barricades seem to me like monuments of the war I did not live and know little about. I understand frottaging and photographing as means of close examination with forensic quality. As if the time was a sedi¬ment compressed in one layer, flattened in a drawing or an analogue photograph. Images expose the texture and its ‘flaws’ and echo my fas¬cination for surfaces and the concepts of trace, index and abstraction.
