The triptych addresses architecture as a means of
symbolic communication, reflecting on the
subconscious and the subliminal in objects from the
artist’s immediate surroundings. In contrast with the
often praised and well-known 20th century
architecture in Belgrade, the capital of former
Yugoslavia, he looks at the post-communist,
postmodern and proto-capitalist architecture in the
city. Instead of the sturdy architecture of a brutalist
object, whose mass is usually evenly distributed and
resembles a block, the architecture from the post-
Yugoslav period occasionally presents pyramids as
part of their aesthetic. Marko Obradovic sees the
pyramid both as a symbol for the capitalist
apparatus, and an enigmatic body that is often used
to visually represent mystery. As a representative
body, it appears in popular culture, conspiracy
theories or semiotic difficulties: triangles, which
make up the pyramid, usually represent the
inequality between two and one.
