13th Nov 2013, De Apple, Amsterdam
I was wandering between three out of four Prix de Rome nomination. The forth work was screening every hour and I couldn’t enter. I saw three different works from three different artists. Ola Vasiljeva was one of them, mixing sculpture together with installation and video art, beautiful installed in the space. When I left De Apple, I had the feeling that all those works were the result of intensive research, deep analysis and thinking, with a very esthetic result. Even the shadows of the pieces were designed. I must say, I missed some sentimentalism, emotion, feelings and at least a bit of paranoia. NADA
