Dissolution Line,
Video work, 2017
In Dissolution Line, Knežević films an occurrence that would happen even if the camera were not rolling. In a suburban backyard, newly cleaned clothes and doilies hang on the Hills Hoist or washing line, surrounding her home and drying overnight. The wind is strong, as a storm is brewing.
The work evokes nostalgia for the suburban home landscape, the apprehension of the everyday, and the longing for home. Occasionally, a sensor light flickers on, heightening awareness of movement and a sense of a lurking presence. Just before the storm hits, the washing is taken off the line.
