"Court, Ball, Chairs Dražen Petrović" / Tuškanac garage Plateau

Author: Kolektiv 4B i Tvrđava kulture Šibenik

The installation is dedicated to the basketball figure Dražen Petrović, and it symbolizes the merge of art and technology.

It consists of a stylised statue of a boy with a ball, a big glass number four filled with “Wilsons” and a base full of quotes. The installation sends a message presenting hard work as the only way to success. The central part of the exhibition is the legendary “four” from Dražen’s Šibenik and national team jersey, presenting a link between his beginnings in Šibenik and his period of greatest glory on the Olympic Games in Barcelona. The number four is filled with hundreds of basketballs, symbolising the hundreds of balls which were used in everyday practice. The base of the sculpture displays Dražen’s quotes about the importance of hard work, dedication, commitment and eternal striving for perfection. The installation “Hall, Ball, Chairs” speaks not only about his sports achievements, but also about the timelessness of Dražen’s legacy.
