David Maljković<br />

Out <strong>of</strong> Projection<br />

David Maljković’s new installation<br />

expands on his continuing exploration <strong>of</strong><br />

memories as futurist propositions, while<br />

making reference to disparate film genres<br />

such as science fiction and documentary.<br />

Out <strong>of</strong> Projection was filmed at the carefully<br />

guarded test track <strong>of</strong> the Peugeot<br />

headuarters in Sochaux, France. The primary<br />

screen shows the protagonists, elderly<br />

couples who build ideas for future<br />

projects. They are actual retired company<br />

workers who act as a medium between<br />

past and future, moving slowly around<br />

the test track alongside the car prototypes.<br />

The second, smaller projection is<br />

<strong>of</strong> close-up interviews with individual<br />

workers in silent recollection, eerily blurring<br />

the past and the future. The use <strong>of</strong><br />

Peugeot prototypes as props follows the<br />

artist’s use <strong>of</strong> futuristic automobile prototypes<br />

in Croatian Modernist architectural<br />

settings, such as in his past video works<br />

These Days and Lost Memories from<br />

These Days.<br />
