Performative installation about the self-conception of negating the subject. The starting points for the installation Without Words were the poem by Jure Detela Birth as Criterion and A Perfect Day, a performance by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan. Dancer Leja Jurišić was a hanging body in her installation that has been forcibly deprived of subjectivation, which is why it was fixed.
“The most beautiful moments are the shortest; they appear just after pain comes and just before pain comes again. They are mine and I will not forsake them.”
(Leja Jurišić)
