David Maljkovic's new 2-channel video installation, "Out of Projection", was first realized for David Maljkovic's 2009 solo show at the Museum Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain. The installation expands on his exploration of memories as futurist propositions. It refers to antithetical film genres such as science fiction and documentary.
"Out of Projection" was filmed at the carefully guarded test track of Peugeot headquarters in the French city of Sochaux. His use of Peugeot prototypes as props follows the artist's past use of futuristic automobile prototypes in Croatian Modernist architectural settings, in a.o. his video works "These Days" and "Lost Memories from These Days".
In "Out of Projection" the primary, large screen in the installation shows the video's protagonists, elderly couples who in the work build ideas for future projects. They are actual retired company workers who act as a medium between past and future, moving slowly around the test track alongside the car prototypes. The second, smaller projection is of close-up interviews with individual workers in silent recollection, eerily blurring the past and the future.
