What once seemed destined to become the lost generation of the 1990s, got its chance to be reborn as a global generation. Managing to squirm outside a repressive system, it jumped into a system of nothing. But at least with a possibility ofchoice – the choice whether to leave or to stay was extended with an additional option of staying and accomplishing oneself, trying a variety of things and findingways of achieving true expression.
i duhovi are a band belonging to this generation. The world outside our neighborhood kept on rushing, unconstrained and unrestrained, wasting no time in waiting on us to step outside our rain of heavy blows.
Ina time and place like this, i duhovi have something to say. Dressed in interesting melodies and well-crafted songs, there lie mysterious verses. Sang in a non-intrusive manner, they cause thelistener to fall into their trap of carelessly humming those bulky words, unawareof their weight.
That is how I got hooked, too. I was fortunate to be associated with i duhovi since their beginnings and be taken by the music, for a long time even unaware ofwhat, in fact, I was listening to. And then ghosts (duhovi) began coming back at me from those words.
There was no other choice but for me to become creatively involved and, as a member of the same generation, provide those words with my own visual interpretation. Ten graphics were inspired by ten randomly chosen song lyrics – those containing a sting.
Today we can google everything, we can know and see everything, but we forget to choose. That is why I draw using this language of abundance, playing with the symbols of media communication, where an ultimate brand is no longer enough – it becomes a brandof an icon. Brands are no longer symbols – they are fixations. Every word becomes a brand in its own right, treating its reader as a pinball ball, jumping from one glittering word to another. These drawings are the voltrons ofour bombarded minds, so therefore the idea was extended beyond them. They got legs: frames for the drawings are unique items and handcrafted for each piece.
