Exit – exhibition by Boro Rudić, today 2nd April 2018, at 18:30, Galerija Grafički kolektiv, Obilićev venac 27
“Exit” is composed of 40 photographs developed of papers hand-made for this exhibition specifically. Photographs are divided into 4 groups, and entitled Entry, Messages, Exit and Finish.
Prof. dr. Jasna Koteska, text excerpted from the book introduction of “Exit”:
…Rudić’s territory is connected with vectors of abandonment, hence the book’s title is “Exit”. But that is not the abandonment of territory, but rather an entry into a new territory. That’s why his photographs are replete with signs, emissions of signals, rail-tracks, roads, steps, streets, entries, fences, as they are all signals intended for seekers. The main objective of these signals is to be aux aguets, to be on the watch, as they require a good eye. Rudić’s camera does not capture in panic, but instead he captures wrinkles of landscapes, lines of rocks, as a revelation of a new spacial syntax. Photographs from “Exit” do not portray the culture, but certain spectral dimension of reality, like Van Gogh’s yellow sky or yellow fields, or like Munch’s hay. This does not mean that Rudić is traipsing into other art form, i.e. painting. He remains in photography, yet is simultaneously out if it with one foot, striding into painting….
