On the 3rd of November, Gallery Pi will host the opening of the solo exhibition by visual artist Bojan Radojčić titled Hidden Place.
Danish audience may already be familiar with the work of this Belgrade-based artist if they saw one his two previous solo exhibitions in Copenhagen – Friendship in 2012 and The Boy Who Burned with Desire in 2014.
The new artwork Hidden Place tackles today’s notions of privacy and intimacy. Namely, the availability of personal data that we voluntarily store on social networks, as well as data we are obliged to provide to authorities, blurs the borderline between what is private and what is public – between intimacy and an all-way spectacle. Our urge to access in advance all data about a potential collaborator, client, partner or lover implies that we also consent to depositing our own data in the greedy digitized database.
Long-term, this lack of privacy will only increase demand for hidden places. Unfortunately, any possibility to reach a hidden place and escape the control mechanisms will become illusionary.
