I decided to put myself in the most uncomfortable situation physically and mentally, and then capture it with with the camera. I thought back to my childhood in Borovo Selo (Former Yugoslavia) and the humiliating punishments enforced in school: I had to kneel in the classroom corner for hours on dry corn kernels in front of the whole classroom. The punishment was very embarrassing and I often felt ashamed. I wanted to channel this feeling of shame, this moment when all I could think of was to perish from my submission. Since the civil war of former Yugoslavia in 1995, I moved a lot from place to place, and through this journey I met many people who were very significant to me and the development of my identity. Few I loved, desired, admired, worshipped. Few I grew to disgust. Some grew to disgust me. And some I hated for many reasons. Each one of them has played a formative role in my life. As I grew closer with some I grew separate from others, which allowed me to realize the psychological impact of these relationships. They were simply displacements for the lack of attachment to my mother: an attachment I have always struggled to understand. I wanted to make myself feel shamed by and for them through my own submission to their powers. \n\nI performed this with eleven individuals. The last and final ritual is going to be with my wife and one year old daughter.","space":"A small room would be perfect approx. 20-25 square meters. I would like to show four of the 12 photographic triptychs (2 of wich are with men and 2 of which are with women, including the final triptych with my wife and daughter). The sculpture and  the single channel video with sound would be installed too.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":"FINALCOLORVERSION3PLUSSOUNDMIX","video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/332127287","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":"https:\/\/branislavjankic.com\/Portrait-of-the-Deity-1","cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":10,"names":"Branislav","surname":"Jankic","email":"jankicbranislav@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"CH","address":"Runge street 6","city":"Berlin","nacionality":"German","country_id":"61","birthdate":"1983-01-11T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1983-01-11T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+1 9293850190","web":"branislavjankic.com"}
