FROM ZERO TO ONE
Performance by Valentina Lacmanovic
Soundtrack: Ranko Šajfar
Length: 45 min

Performance «From Zero to One» is inspired by the architecture and history of the Mestrović Pavilion.
It shows the process of dissolution of The Word (zero) and gives it the possibility to exist within a body, as organic movement. By dissolving the conflict of written and verbal communication, duality is dissolved(one).
Word becomes body when the verbal communication abandons
it’s meaning and becomes vibration.
