“(…)\u00a0Mourning for the lost \u201cspiritual model\u201c is also increasingly visible in visual arts, and thus the Osijek-based sculptor Tihomir Matijevi\u0107, in his work indicatively titled \u201cPlato Watches the Simpsons\u201c, reached for the global model of cartoon-behaviourism in which the memory of the days of belonging to someone and something still seems alive. It is an installation consisting of a white polyester sculpture (family portrait od The Simpsons), wooden construction as a simulation of a family home and scattered (edible) popcorn on the floor of specified space (the popcorn itself could be a great representation of ravenous gulping of cognitive snacks that do not fill the human void, or in Wittgenstein’s words \u2013 they represent the impossibility to technically solve fundamental life problems).<\/p>\n

(…)\u00a0Behind the mask of pseudo portraying, the strong indication of Memento Mori construction could not remain hidden. Since the animations as models simply do not have their own internalities or personal secrets, they could not be turned into portraits. (True portraits require a reciprocal \u201ctransfer of internalities\u201c between persons open in their freedom)[1]. However, the (non-)mastering of subconscious or unconscious projections of one’s own internality into inanimate things (animated Simpsons) could surely achieve what we call the artist’s self-portrait, so if Plato is truly \u201cwatching\u201c someone in the describes installation, it is the artist Tihomir Matijevi\u0107.”<\/p>\n
