HAPPY TRASH PRODUCTION

The group was founded in 2003 by Branislav Petric, Stanisa Dautovic, Dragan Matic, Zeljko Piskoric, Vladimir Marko and Duska Karanov.

…’In our work we use different languages and ways of expression- from images, installations, audio-visual pieces and performance to marginal languages and actions. We try to leave behind occupied and over-crowded spaces in contemporary art. We tend not to adhere to strict principles but rather follow modified and imposed outside influences and circumstances. As a result, in the last few years our focus has shifted from ’creating’ to ‘redirection’ of filtered content. This openness, incompleteness and communicability of the system we are trying to establish serves to seek and hanker for genuine and  fresh art,  and lack of mannerism.’
