Description
DRESSED UP
Tragedies like war and the disintegration of a country are usually seen as political, general things. Actually they are personal, very intimate events in our lives that we carry, pasted on, like a dress. I have printed on fabric the map of former Yugoslavia. I sewed, in the city gallery, over a period of seven hours, a dress for myself out of that fabric. I finished the dress during the opening of the exhibition and changed into the newly made dress.
