about

Ambient sound installation composed for exhibition The First Cut by Serbian painter Simonida Rajcević. Exhibition was held in the Salon of the Contemporary Museum of Belgrade, in October 2014.

Excerpt from the curatorial text - Art as Critical Process. Bodies Outside of Forest (( by Žaklina Ratković, curator of Museum of Contemporary Art Belgrade, full text at simonidasimonida.com ))

Oppositions nature and culture, body and spirit, freedom (of choice) and necessity, life and death, carry one of the keys for understanding only some layers of meaning in the new works of Simonida Rajcević. The new art project includes big format drawings put up in interaction with ambient-light-sound installation that, although executed in another medium, actually represents expansion of syntax and completes and concludes the whole conceptually. The very title The First Cut carries fascination and possibility of multiple interpretations , while in its basic meaning this expression stands in almost paradoxical contrast with the formal characteristics of the exhibition...

...According to Jacques Derrida, the dualism Nature / Culture represents one of the fundamental philosophical categories, an interpretation according to which the world is organized on oppositions is a characteristic of Western theoretical discourse . In the introductory chapter of the book "A Thousand Plateaus", Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari give a critique of the binary model of thinking, and introduce a notion of rhizome that should signify an open, non-hierarchical structuring. Tree with its root, an example of dualistic system, tree as a picture of the world, a metaphor of knowledge in traditional Western civilization, is substituted by Deleuze and Guattari with the concept of rhizome, an underground trunk that produces numerous sprouts in unpredictable directions. Rhizome is a conceptual metaphor, a model that implies multiplicity, the principle of heterogeneousness, and is not subjected to centralized control or structure. According to Mikhail Epstein , Deleuze and Guattari talk about the post-historic landscape as of desolate nature without trees, with low, intertwined, rhizomatic vegetation.
