The project conceived for the Croatian pavilion in Venice will expand the durational scheme that the artist has been developing over past few years with the new film production and new works presented alongside his recent film TK, further exploring the context and the ideas behind his artistic intentions.
The space in which Damir Očko’s artistic practice enfolds is a space of junction between poetical and political. The questions of the human body and the exploration of the physical realities of the body as a social or political subject have been the core of his recent oeuvre. The violence inherent in his works mirrors issues brought by instability between the apparent state of tranquility and the underlying violence of today’s globalized world. Damir Očko’s poems and films embody a latent form of violence, which is linked to a trauma inherent by the evolution from socialism to capitalism. His works intertwine elements that rightly and poetically translate the social constraints imposed to our bodies, evoking moments of passage and transition zones.
This tension between poetics and politics—the “bigger picture” and personal space—makes the work of Damir Očko relevant and inscribed in issues similar to those developed by Okwui Enwezor for the next Venice biennale.
