Catalogue > At random

A living room. A place where the private space of a flat is on public display. Using memory, supposition and measurable architectural elements, the space of the living room is continuously constructed and reconstructed, and the action grows into an interpretation of past, present and possible events and relationships.

Ana Husman’s practice disassembles the structures and textures of cinematic elements through film, installation, books, sound, image and text. Husman experiments with the possibilities of animation, documentary and fictional cinematic methods, and the possibilities of the recorded voice and its articulation. Her working process questions and plays with the positions of the amateur and the professional subject of performativity, the medium itself, and the structures that dictate and produce patterns of behavior. She is a lecturer at the Department of Animation and New Media at the Academy of Fine Art in Zagreb and co-founder of the documentary film organization RESTART where she has been holding film education programs for children and young people for many years. Her works have been shown at festivals and exhibitions including: Gwangju Biennale, October Salon Belgrade, Medienturm Gallery Graz, Ludwig Museum of Contemporary Arts Budapest, International Film Festival Rotterdam, DOK Leipzig.
