[…] Simonida Rajcevic spoke to us from Belgrade where lock down has lifted but, she says, people remain afraid and life has certainly not gone back to normal even though normal routines have resumed. Rajcevic just completed an exhibition that was postponed from April and moved to August. This show, titled Fake Pain, was a combination of huge objects and five paintings – a departure from her previous exhibitions which were exclusively paintings. In this show she attempted to describe a complex social concept wherein people are victimized by only feeling the pressures of life. Her objects in the exhibition are based on a pose made by Bruce Lee in the film Enter the Dragon in which his harms are poised in front of his body, ready to take action. She explains that this represents those who are victims and ready to act. To hear more about this concept and Rajcevic’s other work, listen to the complete interview. […]
