MILUTIN GUBASH

It is impossible to identify Milutin Gubash's work with a specific medium as his highly multidisciplinary practice plays with narrative codes of video, sculpture, photography as much as performance... Gubash does not hesitate to alter a fact in order to make the underlying reality of his subjects and themes more credible, understandable. The artist exacerbates the issues of memory by deploying a set of family stories that constantly intertwine facts and fiction, past and present, idealization and historical acuity, building over time a real, serious and amazing saga. Having immigrated to Canada as a young child, Gubash has continued to build a relationship with his native country, through his parents' stories of their life in Serbia, intensive research, and his own imaginings to fill in the gaps... Re-enacting Tragedies While My Parents Look On is an online web project that was originally created in 2003, as a commission by the Charles H. Scott Gallery in Vancouver, Canada.
