"Alps" (2021) Photography by Vukašin Delević

Work is part of the project "Time" where I use multiply exposure to penetrate deeper into the atmosphere and energy of the event or scene I captured. The series has been presented in four solo exhibitions in affirmed galleries and was part of few collective exhibitions.
Photos from the series "Time" received reviews from art historians, writers and one of them described the Ice rink and wrote:
"The cycle of photographs "Time" by Delević Vukašin, is the work of an artist, who has been searching for a new challenge in the field of black and white art photography for many years. The series of exhibits contains several themes: landscape, imaginative ambient architecture and portraits, and indeterminate human figures. Landscapes are photographs of fog, water and celestial space, in which the main theme is of an anthological character. In them, attention is expressed to reveal the essence, and not the exterior decor, to find prototypes, and not the reproduction of the visible. These searches introduce the holder to a state of "onirism" (waking sleep) from which emotion and poetics are recognized. The magic of these dreams is achieved by skillfully combining shots, as well as an extraordinary sense of a kind of "collage procedure". Starting from real forms of architecture, blended into often recognizable ambiences, the artist repeats motifs - frames, making visible their extension in space. This procedure creates boundary lines and the form becomes fluid and dynamic. By a special procedure - light - dark, and in a clearly nuanced tone, they "show" the space, without using the means of a formal perspective. In order to create an atmosphere and mysticism, a half-tone was retained, which makes the dimensions of the space unreal. By painting real prose of life, the artist inserts human figures with clearly marked portrait lines, but also figures that are only facts of existence. By showing us the layers of events and time, scratching them from the surface to the bottom, the artist manages to materialize time and space. The woven figures, sometimes with exact facial features, create a sensation, but most of them are just ideas - emblematic beings, with the help of which events and time are recognized. Delević's play with forms is not arbitrary and is not a search for pure beauty, but for expression. Not accepting any established path, he chooses freedom, considering it unacceptable to limit himself by presenting the real, but it is implied in his work. From the very beginning, Delević creates an illusion, because he strives to convey the experience as it is in his imagination."
