ARTIST TALK

On fatigue Paper folders are on the table. Each is entitled with: tired of: being a symptom, of repetition, of articulation, of dealing, of migrations, of heteronormativity, of criticism, of maintaining status quo… or similar. Drawings in the folders are portraits of fictional, no name, everyday characters, figures, positions, unrecognizable in their eclectic identities. Faces tired of here-andnow, but still or never ready for radical intervention. Audience is proposed to go through the faces/portraits/drawings and move/reposition them as he/she wish, between folders, through fatigues.
A Letter to Heiner M, version II Is a collaboration with the Croatian author Goran Ferčec. It is an intervention in/on his (performance) text “A Letter to Heiner M.” (“Brief an Heiner M.”), written in 2007.
