The ladders of gold
At the late eighteenth century, the town of Koprivnica was surrounded by earthen ramparts and the Orthodox church was built outside these walls. When the town decided to demolish earthen walls that surround it, it put a fence around this church of the Others. Temples of the Others (jewish or ortodox) in the Habsburg empire had to be surrounded by a fence by the force of the Maria Teresia law. Thus it happened that the first city-garden walkway located on the site of the demolished walls was oriented toward the lateral portal of the Orthodox Church, with a wall that visually aggressivlly and illogically separated the promenade and with its logical end.
With setting a ladder in front of this wall the division of urban space is being deconstructed. Promenade finally gets its simbolic visual completion.
Its seting does not respect the rules of perspective and thus negate western hegemony of Renaissance perspective (Erwin Panofsky), concept of linear perspective which Eastern Church has never accepted in its visual art.
