Jelena Janković: 8th Floor
24.10.2024. - 20.11.2024. / Zbirka Richter
The exhibition 8th Floor combines the architectural heritage of Zagrebian skyscrapers in the district of Vrbik, popularly known as Rockets, and the introspective insight and visual poetics of photographer Jelena Janković. Vrbik Residential Towers, built in 1968 according to the project of the architectural bureau Centar 51, symbolise the urban development of Zagreb and combine brutalist aesthetics with functional modernist architecture. Even though this heritage is recognised by the wider public today as an influential creation of architect Vjenceslav Richter – hence the moniker Richter’s Skyscrapers – his collaborators on this project were also Berislav Šerbetić, Ljubo Iveta, and Olga Koržinek.
