If only I could forget the language
8. 11. – 4. 12. 2025.
This is one of the works from the unfinished series If Only I Could Forget Language, which explores, transforms, and subverts verbal language. In this work, the artist uses a growing database of linguistic fragments that she extracts from books, articles, and various texts, as well as from spoken language she encounters in everyday life. With this material, she explores the boundaries of conscious and unconscious language processing. The artist questions whether this video represents solely a visual experience or if we subconsciously absorb the content of the text as it passes by.
Kaja Dujmić: Born and raised in Zagreb, she is currently in her second year of the Master’s program in New Media at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. She lives between Zagreb and Vis, which greatly influences her artistic practice. In her work, she employs a variety of media, most often video, installation, object, and performance, and she is interested in themes such as language, care, islands, tourism, and many others. In addition to exhibiting in final exhibitions at the Academy, she has participated in various projects, workshops, and exhibitions, including Tko? Što? Kako? – na izložbi (svibanj 2023.) in Garaža Kamba, Artupunktura: Urbani land art (rujan – listopad 2023.) in gallery Putolovac, Kolekcionart x Makarska (lipanj 2024.) in gallery Gojak u Makarskoj.
