Izložba 3 osmišljena je kao putovanje kroz tri ključne faze stvaralaštva Igora Gržetića utjelovljene izložbenim projektima: MediaCraft, Master of Light And His Projection i Black Metal. Kroz računalno-grafičke eksperimente, kolaže, reciklažu, fotografiju i multimediju, stvoreni su slojeviti vizualni svjetovi koji preispituju stvarnost, medijske utjecaje i snagu osobne percepcije.
Segmentom MediaCraft istražuje se manipulativni potencijal suvremenih medija i njihova ulogu u oblikovanju društvenih normi, tabua i suvremenog mističnog iskustva. Ova se cjelina bavi i načinima na koje filtrirana stvarnost utječe na naše poimanje umjetnosti i identiteta.
Segment Master of Light And His Projection, nastao kao dio skupne izložbe K.O.Z.M.O.G.O.N.I.J.E., ulazi u područje astrologije, alkemije, magije i tehnoloških rituala. Instalacija tako evocira svjetlosnu magiju i kozmičke projekcije, otvarajući prostor za igru s univerzalnim zakonitostima kroz naglašenu simboliku.
Najrecentniji ciklus, Black Metal, nadahnut je istoimenim glazbenim žanrom, ali umjesto uobičajene ikonografije, koristi se njegova zvučna i tematska silovitost kao ulaz u dublja pitanja identiteta, postojanja i transformacije. Kombinirajući sliku, zvuk i prostor, istražuje se moćna sinergija osjeta i značenja.
Naslov izložbe – 3 osim što označava tri stvaralačke cjeline, referira se i na Platonovu teoriju spoznaje – osjetilnu, predodžbenu i umnu – te na tri temeljne sile ljudskog djelovanja: nagon, volju i umno htijenje.
Exhibition 3 is conceived as a journey through three key phases of Igor Gržetić’s artistic practice, embodied in the exhibition projects MediaCraft, Master of Light And His Projection, and Black Metal. Through experiments in computer graphics, collage, recycling, photography, and multimedia, layered visual worlds are created that question reality, media influence, and the power of individual perception.
The MediaCraft segment explores the manipulative potential of contemporary media and their role in shaping social norms, taboos, and modern mystical experience. This section also addresses the ways in which filtered reality affects our understanding of art and identity.
The segment Master of Light And His Projection, created as part of the group exhibition C.O.S.M.O.G.O.N.I.E.S., enters the realms of astrology, alchemy, magic, and technological rituals. The installation thus evokes a form of light magic and cosmic projections, opening a space for play with universal laws through pronounced symbolism.
The most recent cycle, Black Metal, is inspired by the music genre of the same name; however, instead of employing its conventional iconography, it draws on its sonic and thematic intensity as a gateway to deeper questions of identity, existence, and transformation. By combining image, sound, and space, the work investigates a powerful synergy of sensation and meaning.
The exhibition title – 3 – not only denotes the three creative bodies of work, but also refers to Plato’s theory of knowledge – sensory, imaginative, and rational – as well as to the three fundamental forces of human action: instinct, will, and rational intention.
