Performative photography, costume
In 1931, at the Beaux-Arts Ball in New York, famous architects dressed up as buildings they had designed, celebrating contemporary and future architecture in the midst of the Great Depression. As a tribute, I made my own version of an architectural costume referencing the amateurish and often illegally built private houses found in Dalmatia. These houses are colorful, abounding in faux-historical decorative elements and plastic windows and doors. While enjoying the role of a façade – that is, the thin border between the private and public spaces – I sometimes domineer over the untouched nature that surrounds me and sometimes try to fit into the already-built architectural landscape.
