About you work

Discipline: Live performance and film

Statement:

I ‘v always been interested in very direct contact with the public, trying to establish a special level of communication by strong minimal elements, and to give energy to the public, receive it back, proceed it and transmit  again and again… I believe that the body can make particular tension and stimulate natural electrical charge or kind of magnetic field around performer after a long term action, weather it’s static or active.
I work intensively in the fields of live performance, video and film.  In my recent works I was occupied with my  individuality replaced from Balkan region’s context which is raw, violent, nationalistic, xenophobic etc.  into context of European and worldwide experiences after 20 years of being a political ‘’detainee’’ in the country of origin. My major premise is to justify my position  on certain territory passing through the certain countries as well as through their inhabitants. My art has always been forced by an extreme internal necessity to go over, to achieve extreme aims, a necessity for constant transformation and radical reconstruction and finally to work on the things which I personally believe, nobody might be able to do better.
I became very interested  in issues of heroism,  homelands, hymns, patriots and traitors, warriors, naturally over-temperamental points and conditions on the Earth...
 I also found very striking elements in researching collective behaviour but also researching each single individual from certain collective. Particularly in my most recent works very important attention goes to my  interests in building a very personal ideological frames, ”ideal strategies”  and preservation of  personality through virtual mediums using new technologies, modern communications and advantages of mass medias. I fervently believe, that an art event must be of strength to leave a trace in the history. One must give very best to make it possible and every premiere must be of a success because there is no another chance. At last, my major intention is to constitute my personality as an independent territory with full integrity and sovereignty, a territory with it’s own rules and own gravitation.

Plans for your residency?

I will be intending to regress the Trondheim’s territory of Norway and to fuse with.
