Almost every night
2024.

“Almost every night, I sit in bed and stare at my phone. Then I fall asleep and dream about the internet.” These are the opening words of an article in the online magazine WEIRD titled Do you dream in internet? Don’t freak out. The fact is, we live in a hyper-technological era, and our reality is occupied by cyberspaces, sometimes so intertwined that they are difficult, one could even say impossible, to separate. Our collective experience is colored by online platforms, social networks, and rapid technological advancements. Sofija Pavković's paintings are almost abstract, with outlines of random objects barely discernible behind the bluish-white veil that envelops the entire canvas. The titles in English, fragmented and nebulous like the content of the paintings, seem to describe a fragment of a dream or what remains with us after waking from it. The very fact that the artist writes her poetry and the titles of her works in English testifies to the influence that the internet and media have on our generation. The unconscious or conscious choice of the English language as a means of expressing one's thoughts most clearly speaks to the phenomenon of constant consumption of content in that language and being chronically online.
