Outside Project_High temperature in the streets of Belgrade

My work is a site specific project. The name “00:00:00:00” is caused by the space where it was sit in: the octagonal swimming-pool with a spherical ceiling perforated by 16 small windows which are also octagonal (ex Turkish Bath ). While working I imagined my wooden sphere situated in this space as the new burning planet that moves in the sky full of stars. That made me think about galaxy. My work is a metaphoric concept of the “initiation” and it contains the potential energy that will give birth to the variety of destiny itineraries.
As the work is the result of my experience in Belgrade with “Outside Project 2007 On Invisibility” the work’s concept was suggested by the city of Belgrade. Belgrade is a city with the particular history. It is placed on the cross-road of different cultural realities. My work tries to represent the urban situation in Belgrade, the mixture of its cultures, the potential energy of this city that will have its development in the future.
At the end I would like to add some words about “Outside project” and our trip to Belgrade that was great! It was really wonderful to work all together on the same aim, to create collective things. It was new for me to contact with the Serbian artists. I want to say THANKS to all people with whom I got in touch due to this interesting project. I have found out a new city, I have made a lot of new friends and we have spent just a cool time together!
