Kristian Kozul
Posted on Agosto 14, 2009
Kristian Kožul takes use of techniques based on Croatian handicraft traditions such as embroidery, lace making and beading – alongside kitsch traditions based on industrially produced ornaments. The works Wheelchair I and Crutch belong to a series called “Discoware,” which includes objects associated with nursing, paralysis, violence and pain; inset with mirrors and beads, they become desirable and glamorous accessories. Kožul’s strategic use of black, harrowing humor – which blurs the boundaries between attraction and repulsion, seduction and terror – transforms objects associated with disabilities and imperfection into fetishistic consumer objects.
