Dijana Bogdanovska: Hospitals

The artist Dijana Bogdanovska in h?r latest project - a series of photographs about concept title “Hospitals”, detects aesthetics in local (and broader) daily Macedonian life. Deconstructivism and Symbolic rottenness is permeated in almost every photo, with effects embedded in almost dreamily hazy atmosphere heavy with melancholy.

Amid all the scenery of junks, medicines, bandages and other symbolic artifacts, Bogdanovska inserts her body as an element in the hospital story. Setting herself often before the lens, through their photographs, she has written a kind of symbolic female hospital story from everything that chokes us and closes us in the claws of apathy and although short, a sense of hopelessness.

Hamlet?s “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark …” is quite applicable formulation for the state of Macedonia, so maybe the “anywhere, anytime” in society with all omissions and decay that are inherent. Dijana Bogdanovska apparently detects such vibrations from her immediate surroundings, fits them in her art and makes them bearable. Somehow even annihilates the ugliness, putting it in the service of art and aesthetics.
