LONDON.- Flowers Gallery is presenting Soft Interruptions, the second solo exhibition by the British multidisciplinary artist Lisa Jahovic.
Soft Interruptions captures subtle, absurd disruptions — small fractures in the ordinary that reveal tension, humour, and the poetic instability of everyday life.
Rooted in conceptual photography, the works lean toward a more painterly language. Shot on film and hand-printed, the process slows the image down, allowing attention to settle on texture, light, and form.
The project sits in a space that’s close to reality, but slightly misaligned. Absurd, not as exaggeration, but as a quiet disruption of function. Small shifts destabilising something familiar. The surreal isn’t constructed as a separate world; it’s already embedded in the everyday — it just needs to be revealed.
“I’m interested in that space where things almost make sense, but not quite. The absurdity isn’t comedic — it’s more about disorientation. It slows the viewer down, asking them to reconsider what they’re looking at, and how these everyday systems operate. In that sense, the surreal emerges through small shifts rather than spectacle. It’s less about creating another world, and more about revealing something slightly unstable within this one.” — Lisa Jahovic, 2026
Lisa Jahovic (b. 1985) is a British multi-disciplinary artist based in London. Jahovic’s work is underpinned by an ongoing exploration of anthropomorphism, shifting between photography, film, and sculpture to portray conceptual and often poetic ideas. Exploring the performative dimensions of photography and casting everyday objects as her protagonists, making the inanimate animated and creating unexpected dialogues, giving voice to the seemingly mundane.
Recent projects include Jahovic’s solo show, The Third Drawer, at Flowers Gallery, Cork Street, in Spring 2024 and presentations at Photo London and Paris Photo 2024. Jahovic published her first monograph, A Map of Absences, with M Books, released at Unseen Amsterdam 2023.
