desARTification is an ongoing art project composed of photographs made by Nik Barte in the Sahara desert over a period of almost twenty years and curated by Svetlana Grnčaroska. Structured soundly upon the concepts of love and infinite respect for Mother Nature, desARTification literally stands for “desert turned into Art”.

SENSES is an exhibition project created as part of desARTification, a story that has its origin in a sacred place, the Desert. Silent vibrant tales of distant dunes that have travelled just like magical postcards in order to tell us the stories and legends about the forgotten secrets of life. SENSES, written by light and shades, sand and wind, a delicate narrative about the pure, precious and divine Beauty of Mother Nature.

SENSES. Slow Down. Observe. Feel. Think. (Volume II), with Nik Barte’s photographs and texts written by Svetlana Grnčaroska was envisioned as a practical tool for galleries, collectors, museums, art foundations and institutions as well as a kind companion for all the desARTification followers and art lovers in general.
