ABOUT:
Project Kresnička ( firefly ) is a collaboration with (Slovene/ Argentinian) artist Tatiana Kocmur it is ongoing project that started in 2017.
We are doing standing interventions in public space, standing still for approximately 1 hour in diverse spaces at night in full silver body suite with the lighted mask on our head and observing our senses and the change of the space with our presence.
Aim of the project is to expose female body and it's symbolic value to expose it and objectify it at the same time. To give critique on female body as a symbol of pleasure, see the reflection of people observing it in different situations. At the same time we are protecting body by being still and invisible as city light. The project is raising awareness to the women that are sexually harassed and exposing the topic within the alien gesture.
