Abstract

Sensing the internal tension of the instrument of the cross, sculptor Šime Vulas has expressed about it a new, personal part. Instead of fixing a body to the cross, he has fixed the cross to a body. He maintained the cross in an escape from the earth, accenting the earthly material from which it is made: wood, between roots and crown, sapwood, subjected to growth and everything the growth cycle carries with it. Joining the cross with a crucified body, he has created from it one, suffering and victorious mass. He has done so with plant and architecture, tenement and tenant, stage and figure. This drama allowed him the possibility for inexhaustible motion.
