Shy Gestures starring Ana Kraš

This film was created by the Avant/Garde Diaries and follows the work of Serbian-born artist Ana Kraš. As a student in Belgrade without the benefit of computers, she often made prototypes and designs by hand, a habit informing her practice up to the present. Kraš's approach to design is refreshingly simple -- to make user-friendly objects requiring minimal production. Approaching design this way allows her to focus on small details that add a playful twist to otherwise modest pieces. Kraš may be best known for her "Bon Bon" lamps, painstakingly made by hand, in a process that is a meditation to her. She is attracted to combinations and aesthetics not considered conventionally pretty, though you'd never see that in the final product. In her film for The Avant/Garde Diaries, Kraš takes us into the private world of her creativity, her studio, her romance, and New York City itself, the metropolis she now calls home.
