dvotjedna akcija dijeljenja vodiča i šetnji, Urbanfestival, 2015.
a two-week action in public space, distribution of flyers and city walks, Urbanfestival, 2015
Rad je osmišljen za 13. izdanje Urbanfestivala „Natrag na trg!“ u organizaciji BLOK-a. Riječ je o „turističkom vodiču za stanovnike Zagreba“ koji obuhvaća šetnju kroz sedam trgova užeg centra grada uz komentar promjena u gradu i gradskom javnom prostoru.
Prolazeći uskim prolazom koji su nam ostavile otvorene terase, kroz praktički nepostojeće trgove, možemo postaviti pitanje gdje je tu javni prostor na kojem možemo participirati svi, bez obzira na rod, dob ili klasu; prostor koji pruža različite sadržaje i omogućuje različite načine korištenja. Na kraju, čiji je centar grada?
Tijekom dva tjedna vodič sam svakodnevno dijelila na lokacijama opisanima u vodiču, a ovaj „rad na terenu“ koristila sam kao priliku za razgovor s prolaznicima o odnosu turizma i grada, Zagreba i javnog prostora i da prošećemo turom iz vodiča.
The piece was made for the 13th edition of Urbanfestival “Back to the Square!” organized by BLOK. The piece is a “tourist guide for city residents”, a flyer with city walks to seven squares in the very center of the city with my comments on the transformation of the city and its public space. „Walking through the narrow passages between the terraces of cafés and restaurants, the squares that now barely exist, one might ask oneself what has become of the public space in which everyone can participate, regardless of their gender, age, or class; a space that would offer room for various activities and various uses. After all, whom does the city center belong to? “
During the period of two weeks I distributed flyers every day on the locations described in the guide. This “fieldwork” was an opportunity to speak with the passers-by about the relation between tourism and the city, between Zagreb and its public space and to take a walk along the route listed in the guide.
Šetnje su se počele događati spontano, a svaki put bih ih mijenjala ovisno o novim opservacijama i razgovorima iz prethodnih šetnji. Za vrijeme akcije bilježila sam svakodnevicu i usputne susrete. Materijali su, zajedno s još nekoliko radova u kojima se bavim Zagrebom, okupljeni u publikaciji, novinama koje smo tiskali za grupnu izložbu u Galeriji Nova.
The walks emerged spontaneously, and each iteration was adjusted in response to new observations and conversations from previous walks. During the project, I documented everyday life and incidental encounters. The materials, together with several other works based on Zagreb and its public space, were compiled into a publication, a newspaper produced for a group exhibition at Galerija Nova.
