Drawings and animations that were created in the past five years are presented at this exhibition. By developing these drawings and animations in a studious manner, the artist concentrates on the study of time, marking the moments that are eluding (the long process of creating an animation is already itself a study of time).

The medium of drawing is very personal because of its directness with the work itself, where the artist is free to experiment, deconstruct and reconstruct, where the result is often left unknown. All of this contributes to the freedom of creativity in a special way. Creative process of Miodrag Manojlović starts with collecting of observations, thoughts, images and sounds, and it continues into the process of communication and connecting objects and events of the past and the future. Concept of the consciousness of the moment is present at all times in the artist's research of the categories of existence and lasting, and the term density is related to time, space and transformations of movement among these categories.

Curator of the exhibition is Lana Pilipović, senior curator of MoCARS.
