Project Room SCCA, Metelkova 6, Ljubljana
As part of the back2back events, we invite domestic and international authors to present their production and establish a dialogue with works from the DIVA station archive of their own choice.
Visual artist and performer Tatiana kocmur prepared a selection of works in which she perceived the range of living longings and emotions. She linked them to her videoperformans Sunflower , created during a period of social constraints during the covid-19 pandemic.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Videoperformans Sunflower was created in autumn 2020 before the epidemic was declared again in Slovenia. A performance without an audience, filmed on the seashore, nemo announces the re-closure of the company. The health crisis and the fear of death, which made physical interaction and social life difficult and even prevented, intuitively prompted me to think about a limited body and alternative ways of communicating in a limited physical space. A quiet environment in which I perform slow and dedicated movements with 1.5 m long sticks made up of wood found on the shore relaxes and calms. Circular movements give a feeling of cyclicality – endless grace and a break from the turbulent events of crisis time.
Period of time that it takes for the environment and the organisation raises (it appears contradictory individual and the collective desire for freedom (Marjan Gumilar View ), autonomy (Maja Slavec, Revaluation ), do (to be Used for Skušek, You Will See... ), samosti (Nataša Prosenc Stearns, untitled, 27. March 2020), rehabilitation (Danilo Milovanovi, cover), balance (Ursula Berlot, fluid strength ), Infinity (Sasha Spachal, m Animalcophone_unison ) and more.

Tatiana Kocmur (1992) graduated in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts and design in Ljubljana in 2015. In 2020, she completed her postgraduate studies in painting with a master's thesis body installation – between performance and object . Since 2013, he has been exhibiting and performing at various exhibitions in Slovenia. She performed in Skopje, Milan, Bologna and Berlin. Her artistic practice transitions between painting and live art, she also works as a producer of Contemporary Art (Producer of Circulacija 2, co-initiator of the platform for the production, exhibition and research of performance art TRANSLACIJA/TRASLACI ILUCN). Her practice is marked by collaboration with artists of various fields. The works created during close cooperation are a reflection of common interests and carry in themselves the specifics of the interweaving of artistic approaches that differ from each other – in themes, manner of execution and use of materials and media. A common denominator is the interest in live art and / or the creation of events involving the body of artists. In 2021, she obtained a working scholarship from the Ministry of culture of the Republic of Slovenia. (Photo: Natalija Gaji / Video )
