Croatian video artist Dalibor Martins has a new installation in the main hall of Zagreb's Meštrović Pavilion. Specifically designed for the Bačva Gallery, Nemam Vremena, 'I Don't Have Time', will be open to the public until March 26. A pioneer in the use of video technology as an artform in the former Yugoslavia, Martins is a graduate of Zagreb's Academy of Fine Arts. His body of work has been exhibited worldwide, most notably at the Venice and São Paulo biennales.
Dalibor's installation divides the pavilion's central gallery into four spaces, each with a pair of chairs and two contrasting projected video feeds. The piece reflects on the ways that we perceive time, especially as it has today become highly mediated by the internet during and after the pandemic. Martins has also created a strong motif, a preoccupation with rotation and circles, referring back to the very gallery space that the artwork is shown in, and how the viewer interacts with it.
Address Trg Žrtava Fašizma 16. Open Tue-Sun 11am-7pm. Admission €4.
