Abstract
Bakic and Knez’s work demonstrates a unique empathy given to the actions of the actor who are also the constructors of the set as well as the experience of the audience who are given deeper insights into the making of the narrative she or he is consuming. In the plays and in this exhibition and instillation of their work, Bakic and Knez present their four set designs through two video pieces. The first projection, Space, offers us a deconstruction of each of the play. A second projection showing us the concepts and precise geometric studies that supported the development of each of these projects. Like their set designs, Bakic and Knez’s exhibition asks the viewer to empathize with the labors of others, and through this process to potentially view the underlying structures of contemporary society through an equally critical and active lens, not as a finished product or as a simple narrative but as a construction site in which we should all be engaged.
