Milan Kujundzic
objects, installations and video
Salon 77, April 11 – May 1, 2024
Expressing himself in different media (installation, object, video, drawing and sound), Milan Kujundžić deals with the relationship between the individual and the collective, i.e. questioning the position of the individual within the wider and narrower global system. He is interested in the question of man’s susceptibility to living in a complex social structure, with a large number of predefined rules for living and acting. Looking for border points when the statement acquires a tone of protest and calls for resistance to the order, Kujundžić, with his recent works, reflects on the need for the liberalization of social dogmas and the re-examination of newly created imperatives. “To the fight to save humanity” the artist adds a variety of stripped-down remarks from global reality. Conducted in the spirit of rebellious art of the last century, and anticipating the current phenomena of reality, the works of this exhibition represent Kujundžić’s contribution to public consciousness.
