Video instalacija / installation, kamera / photography Andrej Lupinc, Miha Vipotnik, Patrick Scott, 1999 |
"Mnoge od tem elementarnega repertoarja Natase Prosenc, kot so
eksistencni
boj, nasa vez z vesoljem, iskanje duhovnega pomena in odnos med moskim
in
zensko, se pojavijo tudi v 'Gladiatorjih', instalaciji v stirih delih, ki
je
bila predstavljena v Slovenskem paviljonu na Beneskem bienalu leta
1999.
Natasa Prosenc v 'Gladiatorjih' neposredno obravnava stiri elemente -
zemljo,
zrak, vodo in ogenj - vzporedno z nadcutnimi cloveskimi iskanji.
Velikanski
zidovi spiralnih ognjev ali vrtecih se krogov peska, ki utripajo s
hipnoticno mocjo, zrcalijo portrete ljudi, ki izrazajo diapazon
razlicnih
emocij."

"Many of Prosenc's primary topics, like the struggle of existence, our
connection with the universe, quests for spiritual meaning and the
relationship between male and female appeared in Prosenc's 'Gladiators',
her
four-part installation presented in the Slovene Pavilion at the Venice
Biennale in 1999. Here, Prosenc directly addressed the four elements -
earth, air, water and fire - alongside essential and transcendent human
pursuits. Huge walls of spiraling fire, or spinning circles of sand
that
pulsate with hypnotic power mirror the portraits of people going
through the range of emotions."
