and respecng specific characteriscs of other people’s progressive and regressive life experiences, with the exhibion named Views being complemented by a page from the Regesta project, which was started in late 2007. Today, it is indeed necessary to pose the following queson to ourselves: Who has a right to the truth? “Authencity here means realizaon of freedom condioned by belief, or a mature relaon to the truth.” (Wojtyla 2017:292) The truth is not on the stage, the truth is in the eyes. “Even private behaviour is slowly taking the form of an exhibion at which idols are imitated, conflicts presented as models are experienced so that a secondhand identy is being sought. (Barbarić 2003:68) Portraits do not represent either imita- on or reducon of someone else’s iden- ty; they just represent a selecon of what is most probable, a kind of pracce in someone’s life. Drawings represent the truth. About me and about you. “Culture is the future, memory (…) it is not Jusce, but it is a tesmony to it,” (Parun 1990:317) “However, even in the present day world of postmodernism, with relavism and fanacal beliefs being confused, morality and commitment to lasng human values must not become redundant. In the global world man is sll essenal with his spiritual constant, typically reflected in his commitment to the truth, freedom and responsibility.” (Barbarić 2003:111) “… it is truth that makes man what he is. His relaonship with truth is the deciding factor in his human nature and it constutes his dignity as a person.“ (Wojtyla 2017:373) What we are is revealed in every pore on our face; every portrait is, therefore, a means of figuring out who and what we are, what path we are treading. “No return to bygone historical and secular modes of existence.” (Barbarić 2003:49) Art is a companion in the process of growing up and development and “it is up to us to decide whether we will consent to be a false surface of a piece of paper or a vital space for events and tes- mony of truth.” (Parun 1996:368) Her mother, love, “rocked the fighters and carried the dreamers made the people and a field of sunflowers tremble … Love is a child’s forehead, a fairy tale of a nicer world.” (Parun 1996:39) BIBLIOGRAPHY Paić, Žarko. 2011 Posthuman State: The End of Man and Possibilies of Alterna- ve History, Lieris.
