FEAR

↳ SEE WORK

Paint me a fragrance is a request similar to give me back my memories, return to me the moment that has disappeared, never to appear in the same form again.

-EXCERPT FROM FEAR

Fear

Written and Narrated by Tina Bikic

One of art’s greatest impossibilities is the issue of presenting fragrance within an image.

More delicate than colour, it has the ability to evoke forgotten events, impulses, the chaos and calm of life.

Paint me a fragrance is a request similar to give me back my memories, return to me the moment that has disappeared never to appear in the same form again.

We, made of fractions, fractions of memories, in the moment as we come back to them,

it's just as we come back to one part of ourselves, this forgotten part to whom we used to say: be silent.

Quiet and silent.

Be here and pretend that you are not.

Be somewhere here, so close to in-betweenness.

ilm still from "Fear" by Tina Bikic of a performer in a sheer garment crouching by the lake, reaching to the water.
