The One | 2019

“The One” (2019) is a performance of an expected but never given kiss, sevring as a metaphor for distance in reality between two countries and two peoples. It explores touch as a sense prior to all others: without being touched one could not form an undestanding of oneself (one) or the other (two), and there would be no mathemathics. nor fixed positions.

The work uses the events of world premiere of the Matrix and NATO bombing of Belgrade interwining reality and fiction, to question rigid concepts – the belief in a singluar, coherent “One”, one world, a single solution, a clear answer, or the sharp distintion between right and wrong, good and evil. Challenging the desire for certainity in how we relate to others and project ourself in the world.
