KISSING PLACE - art action, installation in public space, video (2008, 2009)


The project “Kissing place” has been created by the end of 2008, as a reaction to restrictions which limit our freedom in behavior in public environment. Number of this kind of restricted areas increases, as well as the number of restrictions referring to our behavior. The idea, that it will be restricted to kiss each other wherever, has been initially ironic. However, in February, 2009, to my biggest surprise, kissing has been officially prohibited at one British station.
The project “Kissing place” represents reverse procedure. Therefore, instead of restrictions in public space, there are markers notifying kissing places. Participants in this project are young people from different parts of Serbia, who have been marking public space in their towns, which would be ideal ‘kissing place’, according to their opinion. They have been documenting the process. Number of these marked places is increasing continually.
