HANA MILETIĆ

"Miletić builds upon her well-known Materials series (ongoing since 2015). In the Materials series, delicate, often brightly colored weavings are conceived in relation to street photography, and hand woven on a 1970s loom. Extending from her formal training as a photographer, their idiosyncratic shapes and color-schemes are based on Miletić’s snapshots of temporary repairs to buildings and objects in urban public spaces. For Desire Lines, most of the works draw from the gallery’s neighborhood, New York City’s Chinatown. After photographing specific repairs and transformations during a site visit in 2024, the artist hand-wove each piece on her studio loom in Brussels. Reflecting on the incommensurable relationship between representation and historical development, Miletić’s process slows down production, translating
overlooked, ad hoc handiwork in public space into delicate textile forms."
