Bio : Born 1977 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the former Yugoslavia. Lives and works in Zagreb, Croatia, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and New Orleans, United States of America.
Description : The video shows a performance of an audio drama text of the same name: The Invisibles. A story of an invisible family planning to go on a vacation is delivered through a conventional narrative structure. The main protagonist is Mrs. Invisible, who attempts to regain her lost identity and obtain a passport. This light satire touches upon the absurdities of contemporary society: the bureaucratic mechanisms, collective paranoia and surveillance systems. In this work the idea of the “invisible” is tied in with the notion of the “other”. This work is neither an audio drama nor a video in the full sense, it lingers as the “other” in between the two genres.
