Shadow
Casters Wall Displays are
equally addressed to random passers but also to the intentional
readers: Wall Displays boxes
are positioned in 8 location in the publicspace in the city of Zagreb.
This project is
thematically focused on: the ephemerality of the everyday chain of
events, micro and macro memory narratives linked to the area around
the Wall Display boxes, transformation of the city, the questioning
of the politics of remembrance, political acts and media presence in
the public space.
Wall
Displays are based upon docufictional
approach to the listed thematic guidelines and they also develop
hyper textual models of reading the city, alternative cartography,
construction of the place of remembrance and tactics of constructing
collectivity.
Wall
Displays edition assumes integral author's
concept within which every location out of 8 Wall Displays boxes is
treated as a part of substantial whole.
This open
call is open to visual and new media artists
but also to researchers in Humanities (Ethnology, Sociology,
Philosophy, Politology) as well as to interdisciplinary teams (Wall
Display communicate equally through text and image). If the accepted
proposition is based on the humanistic approach to the research of
the city and candidate does not have background in design, the
organisers will enable a collaboration with a designer.

call is also open to performance artist and
