“GIVE ME YOUR NAME”
In this performance I ask someone to give me his name, and then to write it on my body. When I receive a name, I give in exchange a small abstract decoration sticker. You can put this decoration on your body or on other stuff. It is kind of symbolic exchange between names and abstract decorations. In doing so, we can become decoration ourselves.
A ‘name’ is each one’s own identity, when living with others.
I think identity is created by the existence of other persons, relatively.
The purpose of this performance is to highlight how art is based
on human relationships, operating though actions and processes.
It also allowed us to imagine an impossible existence through a continus shift of name.

"BOSNA - PORTUGAL: 1-0 is a performance connecting two simmilar galleries on the opposite sides of Europe - Lisbon (Zaratan - Arte Contemporânea) and Sarajevo (GSU Brodac). Both autonomous, independent and created by artists in order to promote a more accessible and free culture of an interdisciplinary understanding, they reside in completely different social and political contexts.
The connection occurs through the simultaneous action of the artist and curator Smirna Kulenovi? (BA) in Lisbon and Muhamed Baru?ija (A) in Sarajevo. Smirna Kulenovi? spent the last 6 months working and creating in Lisbon, and this is her last reflection about the social context of Portugal, Bosnia and Europe - which she puts to test before returning back to Sarajevo, Brodac gallery.
The topics of national and European identity, work, leisure, rise of right-wing political structures, fading relationship with the revolutionary historical heritage, post-capitalism and necessity for immediate and direct action intertwine through the piece, offering a critique of and solution for a socially engaged and anarchist art practice."
