“This post-modern
strategy feeds itself by unstable fields of consumer culture, using the
marginal and the split in social codes. Like an ironic side of kitsch it
signalizes the slide sites of contemporariness, instability of values
and norms. By exaggeration and saturation esthetics, at the same time
seductive and bizarre, attractive and peculiar, coquette and obscure.
Wrapped in sensual and obsessive energy, intuition and ludism of female
sensuality”, wrote Ksenija Orelj about Overload, latest work of Emilija
Duparov that will be presented to the art public in her birth town.
