My lies room

Situation in my country in recent years was bad politics created by politicians which ruled the country and the war, that mercilessly ruined our lives. In that struggle for mere survival, people who decid ed to stay here in serbia created a world of theirs. It could be called the world of lies. We had no choise - people believed in nonseanse things, anything was possible - still, at the same time, everything was nonsense. Living at total "underground", in a trap and a time which did not really exist, being conscious of the fact that we did not exist either, people's sonls were ruined deeply and for ever. that world of lies consisted of tiny pleasures fulfilling the lowest passions - one imagined He had made a wonder from nothing, values did not exist, an instinct for survival and bringing birth were the only two things that made us keep alive. I beleived in my energy and intuition and did my best to keep my thoughts positive. Facing something which could be called untouchable brought me "pictures" which went by one after another for years. At one moment those pictures became a masterpiece for me - those were lies that made me belive that I exist.

I have scanned various objects which do not have any material value such as photographs, letters, underwear, ornaments, birth certificate, hospital discharge papers, etc.

Soba mojih laži

Soba mojih laži je licna predstava života, narožito poslednjih desetak godina - godina krize, ratovanja i depresije. Živeli smo u totalnom andergraundu, zamci i vremenu koje ne postoji.

Moj svet laži su sitna zadovoljstva koja su ispunjavala najniže strasti, zamišljajuci da sam ni od cega napravila cudo, vrednosti su prestale da postoje, jedino me je želja za opstankom i ra|anjem održala. Verovala sam u energiju i intuiciju, prepuštena mislima koje ni u jednom trenutku nisu bile negativne. Taj bliski susret sa necim sto bi se nazvalo nedodirljivim mi je stvorio slike koje su se re|ale.. možda godinama. To su laži koje su me ubedile da postojim.
Skenirala sam razne predmete, najcešce predmete bez ikakve materijalne vrednosti: fotografije, pisma, donji veš, nakit, kozmetika, izvod iz maticne knjige ro|enih, otpustne liste iz bolnice …
