My Stop Motion 2020
On Friday, 19th June 2020, a video exhibition of GIF animations, entitled “IndustriAll”, was held at the Miner Borc monument in Labin (HR). This exhibition is the outcome of a GIF animation competition of the same name, which was initiated by the Metamedij association and was open to all interested parties, irrespective of their artistic training or experience. Submissions were accepted until 30 April. The competition was organised as part of the participatory cultural programmes of the Lamparna Social and Cultural Centre project, which is co-funded by the European Social Fund and aims to promote social inclusion.
The work, entitled “My Stop Motion,” was created with the theme of industrial heritage as its foundation. The shipyard industry in Trogir, colloquially known as “Skver”, where I spent my formative years, was privatised and underwent a significant transformation, becoming a prominent mega-yacht manufacturing facility. The objective of “My Stop Motion” was to capture moments from my past that are closely connected to Skver.
