Dear Bunny

Zorana has kept diaries since she was 15 and although they used to be just written out in the evenings, they have now grown and become her main practice. As their presence has expanded in her life, their content has also evolved with visual additions such as calligraphy, illustration, photography, collage and found printed material.Working with other women’s diaries and from her own ones, Zorana shares pieces of girlhood and growing older. For her diploma installation Dear Bunny, she aims to showcase puberty and intimate memories into a synthetized space: the bedroom. Said bedroom is inhabited by Bunny, a hat wearing rabbit who embodies different cherished memories, past relationships, people who are no longer present and disappointments but also childhood dreams and future hopes. Thus, Bunny’s figure, like a spirit or an imaginary friend, is here to tell various recollections and experiences. By making public a private space, you are welcomed to roam through and investigate Zorana’s bedroom. Between voyeurism and girlhood, you become Bunny’s confidant while trying to find out who they are and what happened to them. In her process of opening an intimate room, the bedroom becomes able to accommodate a community. You can explore but also sit down and talk, read or write to Bunny.
