Reconstruction of Vitić: A Palimpsest of Authenticity Interpretations
Rijeka / 2023.-2024. / Martina Mataija / Maroje Mrduljaš / Dora Sipina Modrić / Idis Turato
✶

About project
The project explores various interpretations of authenticity: from the facsimile reconstruction of preserved parts of Vitić's complex, through phantasmagorical interpretations of unrealized segments of his original design, to the interpolation of new elements for contemporary use. The types of interventions are defined by pragmatic criteria that protect the integrity of various forms of authenticity, while their interplay creates a trans-historical cultural palimpsest.
