The Past in The Present IZLOŽBA EXHIBITION
Izložba „The Past in The Present“ prepliće dela dvojice umetnika ko- ji pripadaju srodnom civilizacijskom i verskom krugu – Grčkoj i Sr- biji, ali svaki od njih ne samo što temi pristupa iz drugačije perspek- tive već se i bavi drugom vrstom fotografije. Ono što ih povezuje jeste interesovanje za tradiciju, čiji su rezultat istraživački projek- ti dugog trajanja. Projekti „Ethos“ i „Mitos“ grčkog fotografa Mihalisa Papasa dono- se fotografije fokusirane na folklornu tradiciju Grčke, odnosno na narodne rituale, verske običaje i narodne nošnje iz različitih kraje- va te zemlje. Za razliku od Papasovih teatralnih fotografija jarkog kolorita i gotovo dionizijskih obeležja, na kojima su glavni protago- nisti ljudi, Mihailo Vasiljević u projektu Srpska mitologija pristupa srpskoj mitologiji i tradiciji iz potpuno drugog ugla. Iako i njegovi ra- dovi nastaju kroz putovanja na određene destinacije unutar Srbi- je, te se takođe bave mešavinom rituala paganskog i hrišćanskog porekla, ove fotografije su mnogo utišanijeg kolorita, donose sva- kodnevne predmete, pejzaže i prirodne fenomene, te ne trpe de- kor i inscenaciju. Izložba „The Past in The Present“ biće otvorena do 17. septembra 2023, a kako nalaže praksa Galerije „Hestia“, imaće i svoje prateće programe.
The exhibition entitled The Past in The Present intertwines the works of two artists who belong to the kindred civilisational and religious circles of Greece and Serbia, though they both differ not only in terms of the perspective from which they approach themes, but also in the fact that they deal with different types of photography. What nonetheless connects them is their interest in tradition, the result of which is long-term research projects. The Ethos and Mitos projects of Greek photographer Michalis Pappas bring photographs focused on Greece’s folklore tradition, on folk rituals, religious customs and folk costumes from various regions of the country. Unlike Pappas’s theatrical photography - with its bright colour palette and almost Dionysian characteristics, in which people represent the main pro- tagonists – Mihailo Vasiljević, in his Serbian Mythology project, approach- es Serbian mythology and tradition from a completely different perspec- tive. Despite the fact that his works are also created through his travels to specific destinations within Serbia and that they also deal with a combi- nation of rituals with pagan and Christian origins, his photographs have a much softer colour palette and feature everyday items, landscapes and natural phenomena, while they do not accentuate décor and staging. The Past in The Present exhibition runs until 17 th September 2023 and will also have its own ancillary programmes, as is the common practice of Hestia Gallery.
