SPOILER ALERT!
SIEGBERT METELKO ON ZORAN MUSIC FOR THE ART MAGAZINE PARNASS
There are encounters that point your life in a brand new, previously unknown direction. So that it was in 1986 when I was faced with the pictures of Zoran Music from the Museo Correr in Venice: for the first time I watched the terrible visions of this series"Non siamo gli ultimi", the painted mountains of corpses, in which the artist at 1 mourning work of the dead concentration camp comrades at the Dachau concentration camp.
As a young man he was deported there, detained in Venice, and afterwards interning at the Trieste concentration camp Risiera di San Saba, suddenly pulled out of a promising artistic profession. It was a matter of fate that Music dropped into the hands of his pursuers right in front of the portal of Palazzo Balbi-Valier, where he would live much later with his former wife Ida Barbarigo.
In Venice he married Ida Cadorin, heiress to a legendary dynasty of painters who'd call himself"Barbarigo", Paris became his second house alongside Venice, the karst and Dalmatian landscape reminded him of the Mediterranean impressions of his childhood. Anyone who slows down the karst through Trieste today, off the highway, can still meet themthe semi-wild horses galloping on the dry earth, the"Cavallini". They run through the area like a mosaic of white stone splinters, looking at Zoran Music using a sort of thoughtful humor and painting them into their joyful deficiency of history.
Too frequently, obviously, the image changes before his eyes. Subsequently the white rubble reminds him of the white skulls of the deceased out of Dachau and the horses remind him of the abysmal sense of freedom, a freedom he knows is constantly threatened. Because what happened once will have to be replicated over and over.
There is no optimism in songs for history, the experience remains irrefutable. I have had closer contact with Zoran Music since 1988. I remember many hours we spent his Parisian studio and fabulous house in Venice, the stories from his biography which summed up the Central European tragedies of the 20th century. In his domain name he always pretended to become autonomous, self-critically he sometimes rejected impressive sheets and sheets, you had to convince him not to ruin anything.
