JASMINKA KONâIå Croatia / Horvåtija Born 1973 DruÏilovec 72 49214 Veliko Trgovi‰çe, Croatia Education 1997 Zagreb Academy of Fine Arts, Graphic Art Department, Croatia Selected exhibitions 2007 ”Supermen”, SC Gallery, Zagreb, Croatia 2006 ”Fetish”, VN Gallery, Zagreb, Croatia 2 nd Biennial of Fashion Photography, VaraÏdin, Croatia 2005 ”The Parallel Reality”, Miroslav Kraljevic Gallery, Zagreb, Croatia Awards 1997 Fashion news, Rijeka, Croatia In this work I am playing with the visual information available through digital and e- media that are nowadays, at the time of total globalization, the fundamental means of communication. I am fascinated by fan clubs (especially with the Hollywood stars’ websites designed by fans where you can find and trade variety of information, such as photos for example). Thus photography becomes one of the fundamental means of communication, and I thought it interesting to transfer something, that has such a media presence, into a decorative ”media pattern”. Images of actors were processed and multiplied as a decorative textile design. I placed today’s idols on T-shirts by means of inversion. Whereas in the 1950s the irresistible actors like Marlon Brando and James Dean (whom media turned into stereotypes of male beauty) promoted the T-shirt greatly by wearing it, I use it inversely, only as a canvas on which a design is printed. The design resulted from minimalization and rhythmical and geometrical repetition of today’s superheroes images, such as Brad Pitt. Their images are used only to form a decorative design and cannot be recognized as themselves until seen up-close. When seen from a distance, the designs look just like some traditional patterns. The design is printed on a glossy, synthetic material and is hermetically sealed inside a plexiglass case, visible to all, but at the same time autonomous and untouchable. 70
