Projekt6 was founded in 2006, when young Croatian artists started an experiment in order to inquire connections between the theme, medium, and personality of an individual. Through constant meetings the authors are discussing and questioning their own opinions, judgments and attitudes towards art. Each author is expressing himself/herself by referring to the works of another author from the group, thus becoming the subject of another author’s reference as well.

(auto)portrait:
the hour we knew nothing of each other

6 individuals and 30 portraits are representing the unit that notes the structure of relations within this specific artistic group.

If the world we perceive is nothing but the projection of what our brains allow us to see, by leaving a space to each author to write his own reality we shall be presented to the spectra of different points of view, the reconstruction of the more realistic image of the world.

Considering the selectivity of an observer and the fact that the portrait often tells more about its author than about the portrayed, this “game” we have started will open new possibilities of expression and critic. The same person, portrayed by another author, is not that “same person” anymore and these detachments are creating the profile of our collective relationship.

We are not interested in imitation of the reality without the need to inquire that same reality. Therefore, we decided to study the problem of perception and subjectivity in the artistic portrait; in this case the portrait is not the goal but the mean.

(auto)portret:
trenutak u kojem ništa nismo znali jedni o drugima

6 osoba i 30 portreta čine cijelinu koja bilježi strukturu međuodnosa unutar umjetničke grupe.

Ako je svijet koji percipiramo samo projekcija onoga što nam naši mozgovi dopuštaju da vidimo, ostavljajući prostor svakom autoru da bilježi svoju stvarnost dobivamo spektar osobnih realnosti, rekonstrukciju stvarnije slike svijeta.

Obzirom na selektivni pogled i činjenicu da portret često više govori o njegovom autoru nego por(tretiranom), ovaj postupak otvara nove kombinacije.
Ista osoba portretirana od drugog autora više nije “ista” osoba, i ti odmaci i razlike ocrtavaju obrise kolektivnog međuodnosa.

Ne zanima nas, dakle, oponašanje stvarnosti bez potrebe za proučavanjem te iste stvarnosti, Platonovsko stvaranje sjene sjene. Stoga smo se u ovoj seriji radova odlučili baviti problematikom percepcije i subjektivnog u portretu.

Koliko subjektivnost utječe na objektivno sagledavanje svijeta oko sebe? I koliko je to objektivno?
Portret u ovom slučaju nije cilj nego sredstvo.
