04 Description (not exceeding 50 words):

An object created by the elaboration of artefacts typical for traditional intimate spaces – of tronožac (a traditional Serbian three-legged stool, translator’s note) and flute, is located in the public space known as Saborište (a traditional place of ceremonial gatherings, and later a place of organised resistance against invaders). By merging these two forms, developing their compositional relationships and by moving from the intimate space into the public one, the final form is being augmented using the multiplication principle.
