Andrej Lamut se v aktualni seriji, posneti v analogni tehniki, spretno giblje v polju metafor človeškega telesa in narave, v katerih simbolno odseva človekova notranjost pa tudi poziv k vračanju k prvinskosti, nepotvorjenosti. Naslov serije se nanaša na pojem iz psihologije Carla Gustava Junga. Persona (lat. maska) je tisti del človekove osebnosti, ki ga posameznik kaže v družbi. Lahko bi rekli, da je sredstvo družbenega preživetja in do določene mere potrebna za komuniciranje z zunanjim svetom, saj posamezniku omogoča, da igra različne vloge in se prilagaja družbenim zahtevam. Obenem pa Jung opozarja na pasti, saj persona lahko prevlada nad egom, zavedajočim se jazom, ali razpade, kar vodi v notranji kaos. Človeška figura je v Lamutovi interpretaciji podana kot senca, odsev, distorzija, razpršeno telo. Na ta način poudarjeno nesnovnost telesa bi lahko razumeli kot prispodobo jaza, kakršen tiči pod podobo, ki jo človek kaže svetu, ali kot posledico prevlade persone. Kako kompleksna, raznovrstna, kontradiktorna je podoba jaza, nam avtor predstavi s kontrastirajočimi interpretacijami, v katerih notranji svet učinkuje kot terra incognita. Ta združuje po eni strani strah pred neznanim, po drugi strani pa željo po odkrivanju neznanega, saj to morda v sebi skriva čudežno stvar. Lamut popelje pogled gledalca po temačnih prehodih, nočni obali, skalah, iz katerih vstajajo izmaličene antropomorfne podobe. Našteti motivi v Lamutovi interpretaciji delujejo kot postaje človekovega notranjega labirinta, ko se jaz, upehan od teže družbene maske, znajde v eksilu, na razpotju, v slepi ulici, razodeva svojo temno plat, pa tudi poetično, celo nedolžno kot prispodobo prvinske, izvirne podobe sveta, ki v sebi nosi neponarejeno lepoto. – Andreja Rakovec
ABOUT THE SERIES
In his latest series, Andrej Lamut delves into psychologically charged content. The title of the series, Persona, refers to a concept from the psychology of Carl Gustav Jung. Persona (Latin for mask) is a part of human personality which the individual manifests in society. It is a means of social survival and necessary for communicating with the external world, allowing individuals to play different roles and adapt to social demands. At the same time, Jung warns that the persona can dominate the ego, the conscious Self, or disintegrate, leading to internal chaos. In the Persona series, Andrej Lamut skilfully navigates the realm of metaphors for the human body and nature, symbolically reflecting the human psyche and calling for a return to authenticity. The human figure is depicted as a shadow, a reflection, a distortion, and a dispersed body. The intangibility of the body can be understood as a metaphor for the Self, which resides beneath the image that a person presents to the world. The author presents the multifaceted, contradictory nature of the Self through contrasting interpretations, where the inner world acts as terra incognita. This combines, on the one hand, the fear of the unknown, and on the other, the desire to explore the unknown, as it may contain the marvelous thing. Lamut takes the viewer’s gaze through dark passages, the night shore, rocks from which disfigured anthropomorphic figures emerge – as if we are gazing at stations of man’s internal labyrinth, when the Self, exhausted by the weight of societal masks, finds itself in exile, at a crossroads, in a cul-de-sac, revealing its dark side, but also the poetic and even innocent aspects. – Andreja Rakovec
