SEARCHING FOR FLOWERMAN
text, objects, drawings
exhibited at De Liceiras 18 and Academy of Fine Arts Zagreb
2018
I have a dear friend and his name is Flowerman. I don’t remember exactly when or where I met him, he has somehow always been around. Many people know about the Flowerman, yet again, nobody knows where exactly from. Some people, half jokingly, claim that he is actually a time traveller and that by this time, after all the places and eras he has visited, even he does not clearly remember his origins. But I know that he knows. He is not the sort of person to forget the roots.
Searching for Flowerman is a work in continuation consisting of mixed media objects, some of which are found, some made. The axis of the work lies in my search of an idea that is embodied in the character of the Flowerman. By creating his workplace, I build his character in reality and base his existence from those artifact that he leaves behind.
