"Lajbeki" are coming!

Lajbek (in Croatian) - a garment with button fastening, usually knitted or sewn, without sleeves.

"Lajbek" (in Croatian) - a colloquial name for a gullible, naive man.

Marginal person - a small, invisible, naive, rejected man. A loyal bearer of the values of his own province, he emits energy. Marginal people are kicked in all directions. They are rolling, but also they can roll themselves to nightclubs, courtyards, streets, stairs, squares, rivers, sea, meadows, markets, ... They can also act from the air. Although headless, they contribute to a nobler and more humane environment. United, close-knit, marginal people squeeze out the exploitation of people, animals, nature.

Marginal person = "Lajbek" !

Lajbek (sing. )
Lajbeki (plur.)

Balls dressed in lajbeki represent small "ordinary" people (always present audience, if there is no live audience). Over time, the artist tries to move away from the exhibited works - "Lajbeki" as an ideal audience want to get closer, stick together, almost get into the artist's work!

 

Quotes

The project refers to the recomposition of the works of other famous artists. A kind of remake of their works in a way that I "quote" them, putting them into a new context.

 

Roses for Ma

A personal trancendence of life experience, in an act of protest and grief symbolized by the winter remembrance of summer-colored roses.

 

TAMAA

The artistress problematizes telephone communication. Technology is advancing more and more... telephone communication is declining. Until recently, the city was flooded with payphones, and now there are only two left.

Tamaa (swahili) --> A hope

 

My stories / The Masters

Often, in my comments on reality, a picture is not enough so I use words too. In addition to the stories, there will also be screenplays (a logical path to the film), as well as other literal forms.
