Meta Krese started with the project in 2003 and is still in progress.
Fotografije Mete Krese govorijo o videzu in resničnosti. Resničnost sta liberalna ekonomija in trg, videz je skrbno polikan vezeni prt, znamenje morda, da se do konca še vendarle niso vdale. Resničnost je odpuščanje delovne sile (da, ženske), videz je obred s kavo, ki ga ponavljajo, da življenje teče naprej. Resničnost je obup, videz je v celofan zavit cvet na mizi, lončnice na oknu, snežno bele zavese. Oh, te pospravljene kuhinje! Komu se utegne zazdeti, da ženske s fotografij sanjajo narobe svet: resničnost je videz in videz je resničnost. A napis na eni izmed fotografij postavi ta narobe svet spet na trdne noge: ŽIVEL KAPITALIZEM IN IZKORIŠČANJE! Zoja Skušek ** Meta Krese's photographs speak of appearance and reality. The reality is today's liberal market economy; the appearance is a carefully ironed tablecloth-maybe a sign that, despite everything, these women haven't given up. The reality is that workers-women-are laid off; the appearance is the ritual of having coffee, repeated over and over, to show that life goes on. The reality is despair; the appearance is a flower, wrapped in cellophane, on a table, potted plants in the window, snow-white curtains. Oh, these tidy kitchens! Some might think that the women in these photographs are dreaming the world upside down: reality is appearance and appearance is reality. But a sign in one of the photographs turns the upside-down world back onto real ground: LONG LIVE CAPITALISM AND EXPLOITATION! Zoja Skušek |
