Exhibition of Neli Ruz ic “Time Lapsus” was her first solo exhibition in
Croatia following returning from Mexico, after having been there for
more than a decade, and included works from the period before
leaving to after the return.
Neli concentrates her entire body of work around issues of
overlapping synchronicities, personal and collective, remembering
and forgetting, all in the context of migration and transition of
id/entities.
“In parallel to a larger scale of the great historical narrative, the
author tells the story of her own history, and not only of the
matrilineal but also of the diagonal history (of women) in the family.
She appears in the role of a narrator who compares the personal with
the spaces personal is brought into, the same as an individual,
personal narrative is brought into the published, well-known and
public history, which will inevitably both contaminate it and compel it
to a new memory.” form the text of Ana Peraica
