THE EVOLUTION OF SPECTACLE
Singularity is a symbolic acting, a collective acting.
Jean Baudrillard
THE EVOLUTION OF SPECTACLE is a artistic research project by Tatjana Macic in which she investigates how the identity of one individual relates to the (national) collective identity.
In THE EVOLUTION OF SPECTACLE Tatjana Macic uses the image and language(s) as the main means of expression. She usually starts off with objet trouvé which is the inspiration
for her investigation. She then writes stories based on the imagined personages in three different languages: her mother tongue - Yugoslavian (Serbo-Croatian?), her “new mother's”
language - Dutch, and a language almost everyone speaks - English. Tatjana invents different personages for each of these languages. For example little Sandra Kikkerstompf is the main character
for the Dutch stories. Historic characters, like the infamous Mr. R. Mutt, however, inhabit the stories in English.
In installations, photographs, written word and audio recordings she researches the impact these three languages have on one's and particulary on Tatjana's own identity, artistic discourse and artistic practice.
THE EVOLUTION OF SPECTACLE was shown at KunstVlaai 15-23 May 2010 Amsterdam, Art Fair for new flavours in art with 75 Independent art spaces, 15 MFA schools, 400 Artists
