Infinity stick

Infinity stick is a mixed media installation around expanded story telling.
Infinity stick is a crossbreed of a scenographic set and a script for a speculative fiction film.
Infinity stick is an inventorisation of a collection of oddities in the vitrine.
For the space of MTGAIA Julia Zastava creates a complex immersive environment.
She opens the space for novelty and surprise: the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
On display there is a set of different objects and images, accompanied by a poem that works as a script. Zastava uses fabulation to challenge expectations. She creates suspense, a state of perpetual anticipation, awaiting for the next unexpected encounter or gesture to unfold. Her narrative is implicit, it avoids the classic structure. Her protagonists defy categorisation and do not fit into specific roles or identities.
In her sculptures, which are often replicas of diverse everyday objects, she works towards creating a shape and then loading it with another meaning. She emancipates them from their idea of functionality and transforms them into a vehicle of the unexpected. Zastava works within the constraints of what we know in
order to create a sense of tension and unease by blurring the boundaries between the familiar and the unknown.
