The person\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">being portrayed creates her or his own identity in a 2-3 hour studio sitting, constructing a\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">semblance of her or his personality that is recorded and archived on a audiotape. Meanwhile, I capture the image of the sitter on paper, translating the features into a series of simple,<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">sparse lines.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">By means of advertisements, flyers, or direct contact, I ask people to come to my studio on a\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">blind date. During the drawing process I try to reveal the \u201cBetween\u201d of two persons visually,\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">without emphasizing either the condition of the portrayed person or my own character. Only\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">the very slight instant of my being\/meeting the one\/other of the model should be noticeable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0\u201c<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>Nor me nor you, says Bataille, but something else happens between us: something drifting\u00a0<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>from one person to another when we laugh or make love. Something fading in the very\u00a0<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>moment of its occurrence. Something inhuman, beyond the field of understanding. Life\u00a0<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>doesn\u2019t exist in language, how stupid!\u201d (Shaviro, Kathy Acker, S.121, in Doom Patrols)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The portraits of various people become in this way the portrait of a city itself. Following the\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">example of August Sander, I try to get in touch with the highest diversity of citizens as\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">possible to get the most authentic portrait of all the people in the city.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">The drawings are presented in groups together with the edited recordings of the\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">conversations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0\u201c<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>On first sight: nothing but drawings. But a closer look at the art of Jadranka Kosorcic reveals\u00a0<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>clearly the very conceptional essence of her works. In her art the drawings are portraits at\u00a0<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>the very end of a process, reflecting the actual relations and the forming of identity.\u00a0<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>Her portraits are situated consciously somewhere between the clean, faceless surface of a\u00a0<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>Wanted photo and the sensible, amateur drawing of a loved face. It\u2019s exactly the broad\u00a0<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>spectre, containing the possibility of a collapse, which shows the instability of globalized\u00a0<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>post-modernity: its incorporation in a surface or a thread, in a normative or intimate-intensive\u00a0<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>way. Jadranka Kosorcic\u2019s pared-down portraits seek a clear connection and an unblocked,\u00a0<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>uncompromised view of another human being.\u201c (Raimar Stange)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interview\/JadrankaKosorcic.mp3Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | TuneIn | RSS | Click here to join mailing listJadranka Kosorcic did her Master degree in fine arts at Chelsea College of Art and Design, London in 1998.
