Ambience, interactive installation in space and audio work that was
realized within the ambience of Dystopa 1:0 Šok Zadruga
Youth Biennial, Cvjeta Zuzorić, 2021. year

I give up, so that I don’t give up.

The work Dystopia 1:0 is an interactive installation conceived as an ambient temple. At a time when giving up seems simple, the author penetrates into someone else’s intimacy, examining the individual’s openness to introspective dialogue. This work questions the willingness of the audience to interact with the work and witness the burning of their own idea, for the sake of not giving up on it. The work displaces the visitor from the usual perception, and he ceases to be a passive observer and becomes incorporated into the conceptual content of the artwork. During the duration of the exhibition, this work creates an intimate relationship of personal and collective relinquishment, which will eventually reflect the interaction of the audience and the work.
