IN THE EYES OF: RENATA POLJAK - EP. 2
Discover the second episode "In the Eyes Of", featuring Croatian artist Renata Poljak.
Using a variety of media including photography, installation, film and video, Renata Poljak creates works imbued with strong metaphors, questioning contemporary political, economic and social phenomena. Her videos and installations combine a documentary approach with fictional stagings to address both historical and contemporary migratory processes.
As part of the programme program of cross-Mediterranean residencies Art Explora, Renata Poljak developed her project Songs for the Sea, a work that explores philosophy, science, utopia and mythology around the sea. The project also focuses on ecological issues, through a video installation and a performance highlighting the role of song in Mediterranean myths. By tackling the question of marine organisms such as plankton, his approach extends poetically from the microscopic to the infinitely large.
