MASS ORNAMENT #1. WATCH OUT FOR GORILLAS IN YOUR MIDST

East-West Talent Lab

The work investigates a controversial mass performance from the late Yugoslav era –the Youth Day celebration (“slet”) in 1987. The slet was a hybrid socialist spectacle that displayed striking signs of the country’s imminent collapse, which spectators seemingly didn’t “see”. We take the “blind” spectators as the video’s main protagonists.
