Installation The Space

BELEF 2003 Visual Art - Installation The Space - Irena Kelecevic

A toilet is by its purpose an intimate space hiding private things that everyone wants to keep to oneself, therefore the inside of the toilet should be closed for other peoples’ eyes. Following that main purpose of the toilet, I endeavored to take out or erase its forming parts thus achieving the materialization of the non-material, i.e. the air. In such a way a person from outside can now have the access to this room/space but only as to a non-living cast.
