Marko Lulić’s installations, sculptures, videos, and photographs address political and social ideologies, systems, and institutions. He is especially interested in the ways in which politics influences art and culture. The patchwork curtain “Homage Otti Berger” is dedicated to the eponymous Austrian weaver and designer, who worked at the Bauhaus. As a “non-Aryan alien,” she was banned from her profession in 1936. Her plans to escape to the United States came to naught, and in 1944, Otti Berger was murdered in Auschwitz. Lulić’s textile work reprises the modernist formal idiom of a draft design in the Bauhaus style and reinterprets it for a contemporary room.
