I was invited by a good friend to make an artistic residency this summer in Zagreb. The residency will focus itself on the city and the ways I can work around it. And, using the fact that I will be in Croatia this summer, she also invited me to participate in the Jelsa Art Bienal that will happen in the island of Hvar, in the south of this country.
My research for this project started in google maps, giving me a brief eye bird notion from this specific place, this specific island, this specific country and this specific sea. The fact that the place that will host this event is detached from the the continent was what triggered me the most. My idea is to connect both places. The project aims to construct a bridge/pier from the city of Drvenik, in the southern Croatian coast, tho the Hvar nearest tip, the city of Sucuraj. The gao has approximately five kilometers wide and these cities are separetad by a small, calm and warm lenght of the Adriatic Sea.
This particular project will act as a prototype for o bigger bridge/pier.
For the residency, I will focus myself and the eventual possibility of doing something tangible there only. I want to enjoy this possibilty to make something that will make sense for me and for the place itself.
