Milutin Gubash – La main du magicien dans la froide lumière du jour
Curator Michel de Broin
Musée d’art contemporain des Laurentides – MAC LAU
In a world where exhausted resources force us to invent new solutions, the installation shows dismembered and acephalic bodies that regain control over their self-representation. How can we reconnect the pieces of the puzzle, when several pieces of the game are lost, there is no more glue or nail and the raw materials necessary to power our technology run out? Milutin’s installation is a low-tech spectacle of human comedy were the digressive game of a dance of death is recorded by obsolete devices whose image is blurred.Between reality and fiction, with his sense of burlesque tragedy, Milutin Gubash reconstructs his imaginary relationship with his native country from the stories told by his family. The animated members of this macabre dance, a memory of the collateral victims of the war, are staged not without humor and derision. Illuminated by fragments of depleted uranium, the specters continue to dance. (Michel de Broin)
