24hrs
2010
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
24hrs is a 2010 by Lidija, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a small black-and-white photo of a person’s face glued near the top. A single red thread hangs straight down from their mouth, unspooling into a loose ball at the bottom. The background is mostly white, with a thin black border around the edges. The thread looks like it’s being pulled from the person’s mouth, as if they’re speaking or singing. The simplicity of the colors—black, white, and red—makes the thread stand out. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
The print *24hrs* by Lidija (2010) combines photogravure and lino-engraving techniques to depict a photographic image of a person's mouth. A single red thread extends from the mouth to a printed spool at the bottom of the sheet, passing through two pinholes in the paper and secured on the reverse side. The work is signed, numbered, and dated by the artist.
