Deconstruction of the game

Aleksandar Dimitrijevic

Deconstruction of the game (2012) is a work made over the course of two years. It consists of three interrelated works that arose from one another. (Artifact/original) was a starting point of installation, Oil on canvas (artifact transferred to canvas, 205x265cm) in monochrome, and finally sixteen cubes of the same dimensions (40x40x40cm) where the marks were rendered in colour. The concept was to input the two-dimensional monochrome work into a three-dimensional space to initiate a direct interaction with the audience. The basis for was a children's game made of sixteen equally sized cubes covered with images on all sides that can be assembled to form six 'complete' (or numerous variations of) pictures. The marks on the initial incidental drawing were enlarged on canvas, and the details from the canvas were further enlarged on the cubes. The use of bright complementary colours for the cube further emphasized its intended use as a toy. The work is interactive, the audience is invited to put together their own picture (an image of the detail).
