2-TIMES • Art
Darja Bajagic,
‘Transfiguration’
@ New Galerie
—
‘Is the material
world intrinsically
violent or, “a path
dug out of abysses,
populated with wild
animals & snakes”?’
Born:
1990 – Titograd,
Yugoslavia.
‘Transfiguration’:
Is the US-based
artist's second solo
with New Galerie in
Paris, comprising a
set of stories that
interweave meaning
and form between
religiosity, violence &
desire – featuring divine,
human or monstrous
figures who resist the
hermeneutic and erotic
categories of their
receptions.
Darja's muse:
Czech pornstar,
Infinite Dominno.
On using
pornographic
material/s:
‘Art prompts the
viewer to see and
then re-see, and,
in this, the power
and vitality of the
image [in an artwork]
is less likely to go
unnoticed. It applies
to a pornographic
image or another’.
