Milena Dopitova

Everything returns because it loses its way
Vojta
We still do not know where will be the last cemetery
Swansea Museum / Amgueddfa Abertawe

Milena Dopitova intervened within the collection at Swansea Museum to explore the personal experience of historical objects and to realign them with a potential previous use.

In the Ceramic Gallery we overheard conversations about the artifacts that suggested ideas of their owner and their history, putting them back into the context of their use. A series of drawings that looked at the action of war depicted the fear and anxiety of the artist and a film of a young boy learning to play the violin revealed his mistakes and emotions on show for all to witness.

Mae Milena Dopitova yn ymyrryd yn y casgliad yn Amgueddfa Abertawe i ystyried profiad personol o wrthrychau hanesyddol a'u hailgysylltu â chyn-ddefnydd posib.

Yn yr Oriel Cerameg, gallwn glywed sgyrsiau am yr arteffactau sy'n awgrymu syniadau am eu perchnogion a'u hanes, gan roi cyd-destun hanesyddol iddynt unwaith eto. Mae cyfres o luniau sy'n rhoi sylw i gynnwrf rhyfel yn portreadu ofn a phryder yr artist ac mae ffilm am fachgen ifanc sy'n dechrau dysgu chwarae'r ffidil yn amlygu ei gamgymeriadau a'i emosiynau i bawb.
