Ikebana

In her Courbet-esque (L’origine du monde) performance Ikebana, the artist exposes her vagina, into which she slowly pushes grass after grass, flower after flower, until she creates a sumptuous ikebana, which she finishes with a pretty bow. The thematic focus is on: “Women. The Body. Child. Future. Hope. Nation. Country.” The action of creating a “vaginal still life” alludes to the analogy between the exploitation of women and nature. Admiring nature from a distance produces a paradox similar to the one patriarchy performs on women: it elevates her to a pedestal of sadistic admiration, while at the same time subjugating and destroying her.

Olja Grubić

Performer, visual artist, set and costume designer. Graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts in Ljubljana, majoring in Conceptualisation of Space. She deals with contemporary and engaged themes and works in the field of various media (performance, cabaret, drawing, video, installation). In her projects, she combines the basic functions of life, needs, instincts into visual images and seemingly simple physical actions, which, in their persistence in time, shape a wide spectrum of feelings and the social condition of society. By performing her own body, she explores the possibilities of freedom within a patriarchal and capitalist-oriented society. With her performance Red Web (2016, co-authored with Živa Petrič) she reaches into the field of post-porn art, 2016 she is the recipient of a Cultural Euro grant at Kino Šiška, where she publishes a book entitled Psychological Cannibals, 2019 she conceives her first collective performance Naked Life, in 2021 she presents the performative installation Breathe as part of Shift.
