SOME CRITIQUES:
"Dijana Mesin-choreographer, photographer, dancer…
HUNDRED FACES OF ONE WOMAN


…which with her Mediterranean pedigree, sparkling intelligence and stirring spirit of a continuous researcher, experience the world absorbing and capturing it with hard work, step by step.

Exactly at noon of sunny February day, attractive young women in cocktail dress drove to Bajamonti’s fountain on Split’s Riva and performed remake-scene from Fellini’s film La Dolce Vita, more persuasive and with much more temperament than legendary Anita Ekberg. That day in Split something really happen.
Who is that young brave, courageous, spirited daring, woman who performed something already seen, but with such charm and spontaneity, that even famous film diva could be envious.
To those among the representatives of the artist circles, her name is well known, because her all-around artistic versatility and unique approach toward everything she sets out to do, cannot be unperceivable, unnoticed.
She easily confused all those who believe that even God could not have more than two faces. Dijana has hundred of them…
While an actress turns into different characters on screen or on stage, Dijana’s appearance is rather opposite.
Life itself placed a number of characters in her personality, forming an exciting woman project.
Dijana is exactly that: integral, distinctive female project by degrees an eccentric example of Mediterranean species, characterized by unrestrained lion temperament and gorgeous beauty…"
Marica Zanetic Malenica, Zaposlena Magazin, February 1999



* “Exhibition Faces is Dijana’s first independent photo exhibit featuring world’s biggest fashion industry names, shot in backstage… The exhibition reveals inaccessible details of the fashion world before and during the runway. That is why it is exclusive. Her next grand-scale exhibition that will potentially become a world phenomenon – Milan, Paris, New York... centred on a spiritual photo.”
Sasa Buric, Photo, February 1999


* “Unusual opening celebration of a photo exhibition…
For the first time ever, a Croatian photographer entered the backstage of Milan’s fashion runways and photographed the faces of Robert De Niro, Sophie Loren, Naomi Campbell, Giorgio Armani and many others.”
Slaven Relja, Jutarnji list, February 1999


* “Donned in a full-length dress bare-footed, Split’s choreographer and make-up artist Dijana Mesin created a very impressive performance…La Dolce Vita…hot dance at 50 degrees…Famous artist symbolically opened her photo exhibition Faces
Marijana Kasalo, Slobodna Dalmacija, February 1999


* “Dijana Mesin, Split’s choreographer and photographer opened her exhibition Faces beyond doubt a true event La Dolce Vita…Following a “spiritual purification” beneath the cold fountain’s water, wet and bare-footed, she strolled down the red carpet toward the photo gallery.”
Gordana Pahalic, Gloria, February 1999


* “With great courage and originality, Djana Mesin opened her photo exhibition Faces
With camera in hand, she studied contemporary dance and artistic make-up in Milan, Italy.”
Sandro Pogutz, Nedjeljna Dalmacija, February 1999


* “Original…the most frequented exhibition of the recent years in Split…”
Marica Zanetic Malenica, Zaposlena, February 1999
