Artists

LAMB is a performance project that took place in Kosovo, from 27th of March to 3th of April 2021 (7days; 150km) in which Luka Cvetkovic carried and cared for a lamb from Jarinje (ethnically Serbian village in the North) to Kacanik (Ethnically Albanian village in the south of Kosovo) where it continued living with Albanian-Kosovar farmer. The performance was documented from the lamb’s perspective, as the main idea was to raise the question of a new subjectivity versus pre-existing narratives, concepts, and projections and thus bring into discussion a new, unpoliticized, and uncorrupted view in order to gain an understanding of reality, or how reality is performed onto us, respectively. This view can serve as a starting point to think events outside necessity and predictability, outside the need of human subjectification; events that decenter the human subject and offer ways of forming contingently new relations to the being of other.
