The Happening ACT (Apples, Crickets, Time) explores the interconnectedness of food, community, and ecological awareness through the symbolic act of cutting and sharing an apple, inviting active participation from the audience. Inspired by Rirkrit Tiravanija’s practices, the performance uses the apple as a representation of local production and sustainability, encouraging reflection on mindful food consumption and its environmental impacts.
The experience is set to the ambient sound of crickets, which evokes natural rhythms and serves as a gentle contrast to the rapid pace of modern life, creating a reflective space centred on time, nature and social connections. This participatory approach strengthens the audience’s connection with nature, community and core human interactions, highlighting the importance of slowness, presence and shared experiences.

This interactive performance Readapt allows the artist and viewer to engage in a dialog about the nature of observation and perception. The artist sets up cameras so that viewers can observe his face and eye, while simultaneously projecting the artist’s eye onto the wall. This process creates a multi-layered dynamic of observation that encourages viewers to introspect and reflect on their own participation as observers. The viewer becomes both subject and object of observation, creating a reflective experience that connects the artist and audience in a shared observation and contemplation of the nature of art. The artwork “Readapt” explores the boundaries of intimacy and transparency in the digital age, raising questions about the control of one’s identity and perception in public space. At the same time, it highlights the role of technology in shaping our perception of the world and ourselves.

In the work “Laboratory of the Flow of Consciousness” I use hands as subject and medium, rubber gloves, action, performance, installation and video projection. Rubber Gloves represents the subversion of human responsibility, adding a layer of complexity to the consideration of human relationships and ethical norms. The emphasis on the process rather than the end product suggests a deeper interest in the investigative process itself rather than the end result. The concept of a laboratory as a place for exploration and experimentation without predetermined solutions further emphasises the experimental approach to art and opens up space for unexpected and creative outcomes.

Žutilo is a performance that critiques contemporary media practices and their impact on society. Through the act of covering pages of daily newspapers with yellow paint, the artist invites reflection on the manipulation of information, misinformation, and society’s passive consumption of news. This act visually emphasizes how important issues can often be distorted or obscured to serve specific interests, thus shaping social and political realities according to certain narratives.
The yellow color, often associated with warnings, is used as a symbol to alert the audience to the danger of passively accepting news without critical thinking. With this performance, the artist challenges viewers to reconsider their role in the information ecosystem, asking whether they question the sources of news they consume or simply absorb what is presented to them. Through this work, the artist calls for a return to critical thinking and taking responsibility when engaging with information in the era of fake news.

In a time when speed and sensationalism overwhelm media platforms, Žutilo raises important questions about the power of the media, the responsibility of those who produce it, and the passive role of readers. This work is not just an artistic intervention, but also a call for social change.
