Performance, 20’00
Advertising campaign, billboard, roll-up banners, leaflets, architectural renderings

A staged fictional project launch presenting an entrepreneur’s plan to open Zagreb’s first creative hub in the abandoned Blok Badel factory complex. Designed as a pitch for potential investors, the performance invited audiences to buy into the fiction itself. An accompanying advertising campaign extended the narrative into public space through two billboards on Šubićeva Street, blurring the line between real and speculative investment and critiquing the visual and linguistic economies of urban redevelopment.

The World of PanTerra (Work series)

The World of PanTerra is an ongoing series in which I take on the role of a fictional real estate developer working for the imaginary company PanTerra d.o.o. Through these performances, I explore issues related to investor-driven urbanism, including overdevelopment, performative concern for community needs, and superficial environmentalism.

Tuning Léon Krier

2024

Video lecture cover, 49’02”
Exhibition view: cover me softly (BETA—Timișoara Architecture Biennial), The Garison Command, Timișoara

The cover is based on the lecture "The Architectural Tuning of Settlements" by Léon Krier, presented at the IHMC Institute in 2015 (Link). Besides being known as a strong advocate of New Classical architecture and New Urbanism, Krier is a fervent critic of modernist architecture as well. In this video, I used method acting to get closer to the architect’s character, and to satirize his contested tendencies: the romanticizing of the past, architectural revivalism, and his adoration of concrete.

The Rampant Krvavica Walk

2024

Live performance, 45’00”
From the project: Architecture of Cure, Society of Istrian Architects (DAI-SAI), Krvavica

This guided tour commenced at the now-abandoned Children’s Health Resort, leading visitors through the Krvavica village while offering insights into coastal urban planning. The tour delved into specific local phenomena such as apartmentization, the rampant growth of tourism, and the decline of modernist heritage in Dalmatia. Contrasting Krvavica with other Dalmatian resorts, the tour focused on the emergence of the "neo-vernacular" style of apartment houses in coastal areas. Additionally, the tour focused on exploring the biography of Rikard Marasović, the resort's architect, and his speculated relation to the term "critical regionalism".

Endless Becoming of Seaside Resorts (Work series)

2022—2023

Exhibition view: Endless Becomings [Solo show], Prostor (CHC), Split
Photo credits: Glorija Lizde

A series of works which examines coastal overdevelopment in Croatia and the Netherlands through a comparative study and speculative design. It combines a research paper with toy packaging and advertising posters, critiquing mass tourism, “cookie-cutter” architectural and economic models, and corporate-driven urbanism. By appropriating advertising tropes, it raises awareness of regulatory shifts and their impact on maritime landscapes.

Full of new beginnings (Work series)

2021

Exhibition view: Regeneration, 42nd Split Salon, MKC, Split

Full of new beginnings is a series of works which tackles various phenomena surrounding the overtouristification of the Dalmatian cityscapes. The protagonist of the three works in the series is Duje, an archetypal figure of the local investor whose presence, both monumental and fragile, haunts the urban fabric of contemporary Split. Through him, the series opens a lens onto the shifting relationships between power, desire, space, and the seductive imaginaries of tourism economies. Taken together, the works articulate a speculative terrain in which Split’s built environment becomes a stage for various competing fantasies.
