In this ambient photographic project, the artist Rudi Uran deals with the questions of whether and how we humans establish empathy towards objects. Do we only have a learned respectful attitude towards cultural heritage, or can we establish an intimate, emotional relationship with objects?

As a juxtaposition to these questions, he placed a human figure, the ballerina, in the process of creating photographs and video. He »deposited« her with museum objects. Using directed light (chiaroscuro), he created an intimate interaction between model and object. Between the living and the inanimate.

The "discarded" body is no longer functional, nor is it an object. The "suspended" body, because of its non-functional pose, evokes different sensations in the observer, and inevitably the subject - the object - is also involved in it, the observer. The human figure becomes, in a sense, a medium for the creation of the observer's feeling (empathy) towards the object-object.

The project consists of various artistic interventions: the installation of the exhibition in the corridor of the Partizan Cinema, the installation of the photographs on the objects themselves, which the photograph interprets (as a commemorative photograph that remains in the depot after the exhibition) and the projection of the photographs in the furniture depot.

The creation of the project was accompanied by the screening of short trailers in public and virtual space. The project is complemented by the enclosed leaflet and catalogue, which will remain permanently in the furniture depot in a limited edition.
