“… International awareness days mark particular events and issues to promote them, raise awareness, and call to action. Every date is important to someone, and every topic is worth considering: endangered species, diseases, underappreciated professions, natural disasters, dangerous phenomena… This long list proves that there are no ordinary days, only personal expectations…”
Since 2006 Maja Erdeljanin is “writting” her Dear Diary through paintings, short stories and audio or video recordings.
Polyptych Dear Diary: Awareness Year (2006-2020), 17 m x 2 m, is made of 366 paintings size 24 x 30 cm, symbolizing 24 hours x 30 days in a month.
Dear Diary: Library (since 2024) is a collection of art-books based on the artists’ book Dear Diary: short stories (published by Museum of contemporary art Vojvodina, 2023), and QR codes with links to audio recordings of the same stories.
