Oral fixation

2022
performance in collaboration with Alma Gačanin

The materialized vision unites all contemporary female subjectivity tropes, the revengeful woman, lover, labourer, artist and feminist. In the age that insists on consistency to individualism, woman is a hybrid creation that encapsulates all her possible forms. By blurring the lines of clear separation between "Jackie or Marilyn", it is a given that each woman embodies both, thus becoming the perfectly balanced by utilizing the strategies of subversive affirmation, that is, overemphasized identification with ideologies and regimes that are the subject of questioning, along with evident irony and parody, the artists establish the modus operandi of united feminist action. From there, a deviation from mere discursive platforms for creating dialogue on topics around the issues and problems of feminism can be observed, and an attempt to establish possible prototypes, that is, desired examples of solidary feminist artistic, but also curatorial, engagement.- Maja Petrović, art historian
