ME, MYSELF AND US
Silovitost umetničinega opusa je prav v tem, da gledalca presune, šokira in vznemiri, kar vodi v refleksijo razlogov, ki tovrstna negativna čustvena stanja porajajo v resničnem življenju. Zgoščevanje notranje napetosti se bo neizogibno odrazilo tudi v podobi sebe, ki jo uprizarjamo, prepad med notranjim in zunanjim svetom pa se z zanikanjem trenj zgolj poglablja. Ema Klinar nas s svojimi močnimi deli opominja na pomen samorefleksije v odnosu do sebe in drugih, ki je le redko prijetna, a vedno nujno potrebna.
The fierceness of the artist’s oeuvre lies precisely in the fact that it shocks, startles and disturbs the viewer, which leads to a reflection of the reasons that give rise to such negative emotional states in real life. The build-up of inner tension will inevitably be reflected in the image of the self that we perform, and the gulf between the inner and outer worlds is only deepened if the friction between them is ignored. Ema Klinar’s powerful works remind us of the importance of self-reflection in relation to ourselves and others, which is rarely pleasant but always necessary.
