An interview with Dr Marina Gržinić in Dnevnik

An interview with Dr Marina Gržinić was published in the newspaper Dnevnik.

"Something that was in the field of the cultural spilled over into the field of the social, it had the effect of a social demand that was greater than aesthetic desire or form."

"The photographs in the exhibition reflect the positions of the members: we see the image, we recognise our neighbours, other intellectuals, today in prominent positions. At the same time, we get to know the crowd, the critical mass, where we can recognise faces and also see a certain background. Photography was not only an artistic, aesthetic element, but also a tool, a weapon, an element of archiving. Like the painting canvas of old, photography reflected all power relations."

"There was a lot of utopia in the very idea of punk and subculture, we actually believed in socialism. We believed in the possibility that was written down. It might have been ridiculous and it might have been naive, but it wasn't naive. We believed in justice, in conversation, in space."

"Not just as an image, but the very way of decorating one's own body, or as I say, preparing the body to enter the public space, whatever it is - a disco, a street or a walk to the shop -; everything represented something new. The body was no longer a two-dimensional image, it became a volume."
