MARKO KOLUDROVIC

'In memoriam' series

what

This collection began with an installation that honours the memory of my paternal great-aunt Aida Koludrovic who was Director of the Ethnographic Museum in Split, Croatia. I found letters, photographs and postcards from Aida including her obituary after my sister Valentina's passing in 2001. The sister of my father's mother Ljuba, Aida, who passed away in 1976 bequeathing a vast archive of architectural images that focus on the 11-12th Centuries presents a legacy that is, for me, an enigmatic reminder if the Diaspora that envelopes my family's path after World War 2. Other works refer to my mother Ljuba, father Serge and son Monty. Aida's de facto brother-in-law Marka Uvodic was a prominent member of Split's literary community and published short travel stories for the secondary school syllabus of the time. Her father Pericles trained in St Petersburg as an engineer and built the museum she directed and part of the Trans-Siberian rail network completed in 1883.
