(\u2026)<br \/>\nBy dissecting the models of existing and possible perceptions of grass in a branched intermedial installation, Guo takes the position of a subtle storyteller who poses a series of questions to the viewer and sets out a spectrum of possibilities of what grass is and what it could be. By juxtaposing different media \u2013 from original and modified photographs, collages, objects found in nature, wood engravings, her own poems and those of canonical authors, printouts from web pages to an interactive projection \u2013 Guo questions our perception of such concepts as the natural and artificial, analogue and digital, organic and geometric structures, as well as our need to inscribe certain meanings into them and occasionally obscure their boundaries.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Preface.pdf\">Preface<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Biography<\/strong>:<br \/>\nJiao Guo (Shenyang, 1987) is an intermedial artist based in Zagreb. She currently focuses on materiality, the ways in which narratives about nature are constructed, the overlaps between geology, ecology and contemporary life, and how bodily experience intertwines with technology and non-human entities. Her practice is often process-oriented, and she creates assemblages using materials gathered both from nature and from everyday environments \u2013 often recycling objects that have lost their original function.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition will be open during the period from 29.10. to<strong> 16.11.2025.<\/strong><br \/>\nWorking hours of Karas Gallery<br \/>\nWednesday, Thursday, Friday 4pm \u2013 8pm<br \/>\nTuesday, Saturday 10am \u2013 1pm<br \/>\nOn Sundays and Mondays closed.<br \/>\n___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/karasarthub.eu\">http:\/\/karasarthub.eu<\/a><br \/>\nOrganizer: HDLU<br \/>\nWith the support of: Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia, City of Zagreb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JIAO GUO<br \/> THE GRASS IS STALKING YOU<br \/> 29.10.-16.11.2025.<br \/> KARAS GALLERY<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, 29th of October Jiao Guo opens her solo exhibition entitled The Grass is Stalking You at 7 pm in Karas Gallery (Ulica kralja Zvonimira 58).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5539\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/FB-event-photo-1920x1005-px-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/FB-event-photo-1920x1005-px-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/FB-event-photo-1920x1005-px-1-200x105.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/FB-event-photo-1920x1005-px-1-900x471.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/FB-event-photo-1920x1005-px-1-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/FB-event-photo-1920x1005-px-1-1536x804.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In her foreword, Petra Galovi\u0107 emphasizes:<br \/> \u201cThe intermedial installation titled  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/2025\/10\/jiao-guo-the-grass-is-stalking-you-in-karas-gallery\/\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7,1,1102],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5538"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5538"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5538\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5541,"href":"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5538\/revisions\/5541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
