Fragments of a River
Fragments of a River
By Angela Blažanović
Angela Blažanović’s practice, which incorporates sculpture and photography, investigates the relationship between the natural and the artificial. In her series installed at the King Edward Station titled Fragments of a River, she has photographed repurposed discarded objects retrieved from the banks of the river Thames in London. Blažanović started this project in September 2018 after she first visited the shore of the river Thames. She was interested in the random objects that would wash ashore, stating “…I realized that we are so used to seeing any kind of waste and rubbish scattered around everywhere that we do not question their existence; we accept it as part of the landscape. I started imagining where the objects came from and what stories lay behind them.”
