Ljubodrag Andric: Works 2008-2016

This exhibition presents a selection of works by Ljubodrag Andric, produced since 2008 with landscapes, walls, facades and interiors of mediaeval and modern buildings. The large-scale photographs exposed at the  Triennale di Milano are characterized by the absence of human figure and by a formal structure that, despite the attention to realistic detail and space, is rooted in the various forms of geometric and material/textural abstraction.

One of the most characteristic features of Andric’s works is the tactile quality that brings frescos to mind. Captured as spaces in their essential form — presenting only the necessary — the locations photographed by Ljubodrag Andric are devoid of their intrinsic monumentality; the objective of this approach is to neutralize their narratives, both contextual and historic. Devoid of narration — individual images do not offer any insight into what precedes or follows — Andric’s works revolve around the concepts of insurmountable limit (the wall), of emptiness (the interiors) and of absence (life devoid of human presence).
