Year of production 2016



In our work we seize the body’s capacities and allow for their physiognomical deformation. Through this action we depict the infinite human desire to be sovereign over our bodies. This aspiration stems from the individuals’ tendency to compare their body with socially constructed ideals of the body image presented via mass media. This idealism of perfection is highly unrealistic, the ideal body therefore fictional and unattainable. This is precisely why we constantly yearn for perfection, the obsessive pursuit for the ideal body always leading to dissatisfaction. Eating disorders (e.g. bulimia, anorexia) and the manipulation of one’s appearance (excessive make-up, plastic surgery) are among the many consequences.




By covering our bodies with glitter we transform them into objects. This sparkling transcends aesthetic dimensions and transmutes them into their opposites. Our bodies become freakish/monstrous, no longer a part of this world.

Purification of Integration

Purification of Integration is a site-specific performance, that is an artistic response to a fatal event / state of mind(in Western world called psychosis), that the author experienced in April 2018. Integration (linking individual parts into a specific whole) has created an unrealistic world of existence and has caused the breaking point in author's life and thus the erasure of identity. Purging integration is a re-launching process, a process that purifies integration and gives a new space for re-linking individual parts into a more "sensible" whole that leads to a life balance. https://vimeo.com/312736145 Project by Kresnička © Copyright 2018 Liza Šimenc and Tatiana Kocmur
