“The Confessions of a Cake Monster” is a colloborative performance in which by presenting my passion and obsession with eating sweets I create a self-portrait. The performance reveals the lost sincerity in the communication among people.<\/p>\n

The first performance took place on 24.06.2008.<\/p>\n

The performance The Depression of New Year\u2019s Eve focuses on two questions related to the present-day celebration of holidays: What do we celebrate? And how do we celebrate? The original meaning of holidays in today\u2019s world seems to be completely distorted and lost, even brought to a level of perversion. Such is also the case with the celebration of the New Year. The holiday that symbolically represents the crossing from one year to another, in fact, is a festival of consumer fever and bad taste.<\/p>\n

The performance took place on 30.12.2005 in the Ramstore Mall.<\/p>\n

The central theme of “The Recession of New Year\u2019s Eve” is material and spiritual impoverishment. The celebration of New Year\u2019s Eve in consumer societies is a festival of bad taste, as well as a race for food and gifts which are often there to fill emptiness with meaning. It also represents a consumerist explosion as a reaction to the oppressions of the capitalist life-style. The performance examines the influence of the recession on the habits of New Year\u2019s Eve celebrations.<\/p>\n

The performance “The Recession of New Year\u2019s Eve” is a continuation of the performance “The Depression of New Year\u2019s Eve”. The performance took place on 30.12.2008.<\/p>\n
