Toilette Paper Drawings

1997

carbon paper on toilet paper, 16 x 11 cm (each) 

As the point of departure for his works done in Belgrade in the 1990s, Kaludjerović offers memories of his own childhood in Tito’s Yugoslavia and the repeated social behaviour patterns and rituals of Yugoslav socialism. The visual repetition of a behaviour pattern as Objet trouvé, is presented by Kaludjerović in the form of toilet paper, whose rough surface and structure is also associated with the pattern of repetition. Kaludjerović has also used toilet paper as the basis for his drawings and hence their subject. In this way he started an intense battle with structured perceptual models.
