Lavinija Erdinger: OTETO / RAPTURED

 /

What is immediately obvious here is the author's contemplation of the question - 'is there a life after death'.
We clearly see the notions of forgiveness, reconciliation and letting go of the toxic fear of tomorrow, pain and existence. Lavinija has surrendered after a futile struggle and refusal to confront the complexity of life's situations which grind her into dust and demand a constant war with the inner hell and its demons. The ability to believe and to hope - even to be afraid - have been taken away from her.
This is an extremely strong and intimate confession...


Odmah se može uhvatiti zamisao autorice koja kontemplira nad pitanjem   - postoji li život nakon smrti.
Ovdje jasno iščitavamo oprost, mirenje i opuštanje nakon grčevitog straha od sutrašnjice, boli i bitka. Lavinija se predala nakon uzaludne borbe i odbijanja da se suoči sa kompleksnosti životnih situacija koje ju melju i traže svakodnevnu borbu sa unutrašnjim paklom i demonima.
Njoj je oteta mogućnost da vjeruje i da se nada - čak i da se plaši. Ovo je izuzetno snažna i intimna ispovijest...

Damir Pašić: Ispovijest jednog ateiste / Confessions of an atheist



Iz uratka se iščitava intimni portret autora, čija ličnost je u svojoj esenciji rascijepljena. 
On je odrastao u vjerskoj porodici. 
Njegov osjećaj povezanosti sa Bogom žrtvovan je novom, odraslom i potentnom muškarcu koji egzistira kao vrhovni autoritet - hipotetički konstrukt, u svijesti autora.

What we can see in this artwork is the intimate portrait of its author, whose personality is, in its essence, fractured.
He was raised in a religious family.
His sense of connection with God has been sacrificed to the new, adult and potent man in his life who exists as a supreme authority - hypothetical construct, in the mind of the author.
