Private/Public StripteaseSilvio Vujičić (HR)

Performance, 2004-

A clothing article is designed as a technical device. Besides clothing, it has yet another function ŕ to denude. By inserting a coin into an apparatus (at the fixed location/wall) visitors activate electric motors attached to the author's body. Motors lower his pants (down) and soon afterward return them to their previous position (up). Performance enfolds within gallery/exhibition space. However, the author (performer) is not separated from the exhibition visitors.

This is actually a reason this performance is not dramaturgically demanding and does not require a long-term concentration on part of the visitors. The work functions as a riddle ŕ it can go unnoticed, but whoever unriddles it gets a small spectacle.
