Waiting Room 1, 2 and 3. Xray Box and Digtial Print, 2025.
Waiting Rooms 1, 2, and 3 are X-ray boxes filled with inverted images of Knežević in moments of waiting with her mother, grandmother, and grandfather. Each box contains 31 images depicting waiting at home, in hospitals, and between appointments, as an everyday action.
Medical waiting rooms are common spaces that represent what waiting is. Here, the presence of waiting is palpable. The frequency with which we wait for care with others is immeasurable. We are intimately familiar with the feeling of waiting; it does not confine itself to the waiting room. It infiltrates daily life, shaping our understanding of the body and ourselves.
