"Nevena Popović presents her way of ‘slowing down life’, in order to prolong it, with a metal sculpture where she dismantles her own figure in motion into 7 representations. The British photographer Eadweard Muybridge, who invented a device called zoopraxiscope, i.e. an early movie projector, was interested also in the successive order of the human figure in motion. Unlike Muybridge, who aimed to achieve as realistic motion as possible with successive shots of the human figure in motion, Nevena Popović is trying to ‘stop’, i.e. to ‘slow down’, the accelerated rhythm of life’s reality with the successively lined representations of her own body in motion, executed in metal." by Olivera Erić
