Keep Illusion for the End is a freestanding structure consisting of an irregular wooden polygon on which brass, copper, concrete, and wood frames are hung. By playing with perspective and angles, Bojan Šarčević offers the viewer a true experience of the sculpture and the space in which it is situated. The forms and lines overlap, intermingle, and are juxtaposed, generating multiple points of view. The silhouette of the main frame is repeated and extended through the structures it supports, which act as afterimages. The whole is thus presented as a succession of framings evoking an architectural device, an ornamental framework imbued with the art deco style. Through a process of abstraction, Bojan Šarčević extracts the ornament from the building it covers in order to recontextualise it within his work and deploy its full poetic potential. Following the same principle, the artist has also created Everything makes sense in the reverse, a more rounded double of Keep Illusion for the End.
