The sound composition Mindness, presented in the Gallery 3, gradually swirls our attention. It abstractly explores the emotional state of an individual, we encounter the flow of thought. Ivana Pegan works with language, writing, speech, voice, transforming them into poetic objects, spatial installations, and more.
My mind is racing with thoughts, all tumbling over each other. The composition Mindness (2017) poetically captures the overload of thoughts in its title. The sound composition presented in Gallery 3 gradually swirls our attention. In the artwork, Ivana Pegan works with the captured word and the sound of the voice as tools for archiving emotions. The artist overlays melancholic singing, noises of human presence such as the clinking of glasses, whispered conversations, the dog's barking, where in the middle of all these ambient stimuli, at first gradually, then one over the other, verbally anchored fragments of thoughts are heard. It does not tell a story but offers an opportunity to delve into a person's inner state and explore the fragile boundary between the public and inner worlds through an acoustic collage of fragments. We hear words and sounds, yet at the same time, unspoken thoughts emerge, or the vibrations of the surrounding world become present. We are not merely standing in the face of the situation, but above all, we are acoustically absorbed by it – a situation that encourages us to listen to ourselves and others, to become more perceptive and sensitive to the everyday noise of life.
