Lok telesa

In the late seventies, the expressive dancer Jasna Knez traveled through the former Yugoslavia creating new dance elements inspired by the particularities of individual cultural surroundings. The video traces her steps during the nineties, but now they are often viewed as absurd documents of the postwar period. The layering of the images combines body movements and the geography of space, but a graphic sign undergoing several transformations, including an animated drawing, disturbs their visual harmony. The graphic sign was made in the manner of the old Bogomilian gravestones from the 14th and 15th centuries, which are among the most original works of European folk art and document the crossing of different cultures.
