NOISE Vienna, Austria

Following a same conceptual approach of the moving image, linking the language of visual arts and film, where the film is always the starting point of the author to define the space of the motif, "Psychopolitics" follows a lineage that the Serbian artist pursues since his project "Panic Book", acclaimed everywhere. But here the artist engaged more deeply in his critical approach of the actual society.

The 400 drawings of the animated film are inspired by the fantastic cult series "The Twilight Zone" from 1954 to 1964, and made on the first pages of the Serbian daily newspaper "Politika", all dated 2020. By selecting close-ups of these sequences, Nikolic shows us actors in a state of confusion and panic. Images of frightened faces alternate with those of cries against a background of news, false or true, likely to capture the attention by alarming the opinion.
