DEDICATED TO KAOS on App Store
It feels like gliding through the pages of a personal diary, an intimate and introspective piece of work exploring much loved-studied subjects while expressing a nostalgic recall of the instant. Kaos. Like the mind, wrapping mementos, scanning the depth of memory, transforming past events into visions. Images come alive and move in an increasingly dynamic flow, illusive omens of misread messages. Sometimes, it is the space that takes shape, almost as if it’s able to regenerate itself, like a sound, and it becomes subject and object, matter and breath.In the iPad version of “Dedicated to Kaos” (in HD) you will find a
wordless book that will take you inside Danijel Zezelj’s graphic art, along with an extended conversation/interview about the artist’s artistic paths, his studies and techniques, a video documenting the art of live painting executed by Danijel Zezelj and accompanied by music composed by Jessica Lurie, among other gems. We recommend you orient your iPad in Landscape position for a perfect viewing of the book. Portrait orientation is best to view a single section.

REFLEX on App Store
Danijel Zezelj’s painting style molds and sketches bodies and structures with light,
light tha t brings flesh to life. In ‘Reflex’, Zezelj surprises the viewer with commonimages of everyday life, unveiling rhythms and si lences found in dwellings, passing through roads cracked by light, almost as if the dominant theme was the uniqueness of the moment. Silence is light and it wraps the sacredness of the fleeting instant. Music is the shadowy companion of the individual mystery of existence. It’s the beginning of a dream, of a vision of being.
