Text
The catalog was puplished on the occasion of the exhibition Darja Bajagić: Unlimited Hate (6.11.2016 – 9.8.2016) at Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien.
Darja Bajagić explores laden questions of embodiment, viewership and visual power relationships – all the while interrogating our driving need to make images accountable. Heeding the lure of the fringes, the artist culls her imagery from fan-gore magazines, true crime TV shows, fetish websites, obscure online forums and hidden chatrooms tucked away in the darker reaches of the Web. She handles these disparate source materials with a dose of humor, working them into densely layered compositions that are at once confrontational and poetically fragile.
