The project Imaginary Land on Sand within the framework of the artists-in-residency project Risk Change, questions the visual relations between the adopted notions of geographic maps and the imaginary ones that exist only within our memory or imagination.

Igor Bošnjak

So far concepts and works from this series have been realized in several solo exhibitions, projects and artists-in-residency stays: Marseilles, Budapest, Novi Sad, Maribor, Dubrovnik, Trebinje, etc.

After the workshop and residential stay in Marseilles, where I worked with a group of migrants on the project Cogitufre, i.e. large-scale animation projected on a relief map made of Mediterranean sand, in Novi Sad I am going to realize a different, yet very similar and interesting production.

In all previous productions sand has been the symbol or a metaphor for something temporary or unstable, something that is not steady or fixed.

We, thus, constantly project our dreams and ideas onto the media of a very fragile and unstable character. In addition to the new production, the video documentation from the residential stay in Marseilles will also be shown.
