CLOSER ∞ CLOSURE

A game of words referring to the „permanent-temporary“ situation we are in and the way it has changed our perceptions and mindset.

Closer. Closure.
A new taboo. A new norm.
The concept of time is replaced by rules which are distancing us and perspectives which are connecting and yet separating us.
Recognition occurs in the moment, and the eternal is stored in memory. In the situation of the norm formation, it is interesting to trace the process of acquaintance and meeting of the guise, and its consolidation as the most common pattern. Dialogue builds a way from the meeting glimpse to the depot of memories.

Zhanina Marinova
b.1994, Varna, Bulgaria

Zhanina Marinova studied Graphics and Printmaking at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna Austria where she currently lives and works as a Visual artist and Printmaker.

By rendering imagination as a sort of materialized fiction, which for her is strongly connected with the idea of the relation between presence and absence, Marinova invents her own reality and explores the deep constellations of perception, thoughts, feelings and memories. Working primarily in the field of screen printing, drawing, installation and book arts, Marinova uses such diverse materials as fabrics, paper, transparent foils and wood as canvases for her screen prints. With such an array of surfaces, the only constant is the large scale.
