IN THE MOOD FOR INTERRUPTION : curated by Tevž Logar

Bora Baboçi (1988) lives and works in Tirana, Albania.Her work directly tackles the boundaries between public and private by creating tactile, immersive experiences which show tangible connections between people, objects and their environments and how this impacts human behaviour, movement and social interaction.

In contemporary society, the body is not just a biological entity but also a complex symbol of identity, agency and experience. Its significance permeates various aspects of life, reflecting broader cultural, social, and political dynamics. In the context of contemporary art, we can uncover a multitude of repressed narratives that challenge dominant discourses and offer new perspectives on identity, power, and representation. On a subtle level this can be recognised in the work of Bora Baboçi (b. 1988), whose work directly tackles the boundaries between public and private by creating tactile, immersive experiences which show tangible connections between people, objects and their environments and how this impacts human behaviour, movement and social interaction.

Damir Očko (1977) lives and works in Zagreb, Croatia. 

Damir Očko’s collages frequently explore themes related to the human body and identity. The layering and juxtaposing of various materials, including photographs, drawings, text and found objects, evokes the complexity of bodily experiences and artists’ personal narratives. While not necessarily explicitly focused on gender, Očko’s work often engages with themes that indirectly address gender dynamics, such as vulnerability, power and the human condition. (Excerpt of the exhibition text by Tevž Logar)
