Details

The series of drawings titled Dvojina/Duality refers to the Old Slavic language grammatical structure, which whom in our language today we can meet just as archaism and which also alludes to the contemporary position of Christianity that has lost its dominance in the world in which we live. The presence of early Christian iconography reflected in a clear attempt to condense visual languages existing “indigenous” pre-Christian culture and the beginning of constructing its own visual identity of Christianity. Throughout the works Davor actually tries to explore close to him religious past, where the presence of pagan elements constantly, such as duality, runs through rituals and symbols, but not so obvious at first glance. The figures are always shown in pairs, referring to the two sides of the same coin, which at the same time pointing to the duality and unity of Christianity, and the division of each of the "universal" principles.
