"The Void": Opening of the exhibition
Fajfrić concluded his artist residency in Ljubljana by producing two videos, combined with collages and archival materials, in which he reinvents a specific modernist narrative that fuses historical facts with an invented story about two individuals: the Dutch painter and modernist Theo van Doesburg and the Yugoslav architect Nikola Dobrović.

Bojan Fajfrić, The Void (2020), still from video installation
The interlude was inspired by Van Doesburg’s essay Yugoslavia: Rivalling Influences—Nikola Dobrović and the Serbian Tradition (1930) published in the magazine Het Bouwbedrijf, which critically assessed the emerging modernist movement in Serbian architecture and the construction of Yugoslav identity.
