The Photography Center, Stockholm, SWE

"In this exhibition, Snezana Vucetic Bohm presents photographs from her suite, Nightwood. Created especially for The Photography Center in Stockholm, the exhibition includes pictures as well as appropriated objects, in a syncopated relationship which Vucetic Bohm orchestrates. Taken as a whole, her exhibition explores the elusive condition; existentialism calls forth a strong tone of vulnerability, amplified on by the haunting location. Nightwood, is set in a mysterious wooded area, after sunset, near a road running along the ocean. An almost cinematic narrative begins to unfold, as random lights from passing cars, slicing through the darkness, suddenly and starkly suggest that this flash of a surreal setting may be real. Vucetic Bohm evokes memory, and a setting just off key, introducing along the way, characters both real and fictional playing a variety of roles. For example, realism mixes with mythology as Hades and Persephone emerge, represented by Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s 1600th-century sculpture. Vucetic Bohm weaves together various components of fragmentary and hybrid stories which never seem destined to be fully discovered or ever resolved; an expression of her alluring narrative style." text by Ronald Jones, 2015
