Un único plano. Un mar, un cielo y una playa. Y mucha gente que se dirige a alguna parte. Algunos buscan algo, otros esperan algo. Algunos están callados, otros hablan. Algunos están solos, otros en compañía de otras personas, y algunos no están aquí. Algunos oyen algo, otros hacen el ver que lo oyen. Algunos no están seguros de si ya han visto todo esto, otros piensan que las cosas antes eran distintas. Algunos buscan algo mejor, mientras que otros se quedan en la galería, viendo cómo se marchan.

Goran  Škofić

Goran Škofić graduated at the Arts Academy in Split (Croatia) in 2005. The awards he has received include Oktavijan Award at the Days of Croatian Film in 2001, Radoslav Putar Award for best young artist in 2009, the Grand Prix at the 51st Zagreb Salon (Croatia) in 2016, among others.  

Škofić explores the position of the individual in a variety of social spheres of contemporary life. His works consist of photo and video collage, spatial installations, recorded performance, film and sound elements. His work is based on extracting various sequences from real life and by placing them into a new context through image manipulation, he offers a surreal situation as a legitimate one. By using technological possibilities and post-production of the image, he explores the relationship between original and its representation. Social control, manipulation, lack of authority, social aspects and absurdities of everyday life are constant topics of his work, often interpreted through a humorous form.
