Inspiration from disappointment, rejection and ignorance
In our project we wanted to pay attention to the spaces that are on the brink of extinction or changes. In a particular case, we have chosen the Lelija factory as an object that will be reconstructed, and the factory as it is will cease its existence. We had an intention to leave a memory of Lelija in a form of spatial installation, using constructional leftovers and materials from the factory. For unexplained reasons our intention was ignored and finally rejected, however a similar idea is precisely used and incarnated now by other artists. With this experiment we wanted to raise a question: Why?
