In Vitro I is a triptych made from three coats hanging on three aluminum pipes. The work is a wall piece positioned in a linear sequence. Aluminum pipes replace coat hangers; here, something of a household character becomes a vague metallic cylinder. Trivial everyday objects are “transformed” into minimalistic geometry. These polished pipes create a subtle disposition in the perception, as they can resemble only something alien and overly reduced while, at the same time, they occupy a place designated for functional clothing hooks. Black coats are hanged on each of the pipes, precisely close to their ends. The coat symbolizes the human body or its action and, in this work, as with the installation Birdhouse, the object is used to connote absence and departure. Thereby, the whole triptych becomes a “space” of sorts, a wall attachment where invisible residents leave their clothes. “People that live inside pipes” can be used as an allegory for the triptych. Analogous to the work Birdhouse, In Vitro I symbolically comments on the loss of housing spaces apparent in the city of Split, however, in a more reduced artistic manner where different objects compile a singular conception. Constructed and ready-made objects (pipes and coats) are used to convey a message about the space and its inevitable disappearance – aluminum pipes are, then, narrow “tunnels for habitation” and falling coats their “tragic denizens”.
