Temptation
– multicolor masks behind which we hide our true face every day, while facing
constant temptation of when to take them off. Hence, we lose harmony between our
thoughts, words, and actions. The portrayed person wants to remove the screen,
come out from behind all the colors which hide her, to free her honest and naked
soul similar to the butterflies which carelessly fly in front of her and the
translucent screen, which until recently was a part of him.
Nightlife
– This person woke up at 7. Had a morning coffee and went to work. On the way
she bought the newspaper. Following work and after brief rest, she got in touch
with friends and confirmed the standard Friday night outing. After brief rest,
the process of getting ready for nightlife began…

II study
graphic art at the college of technical craft in
Čačak.
I am seven tests away from ending my educational career and receiving a diploma
to become a graphic engineer. Through my artwork I wanted to show us as
beautiful (alluding to a flower), and to use my skill to create something pretty
to present. Every day – I keep advancing. Even though that is a quote from a
domestic movie, it may also serve as a universal message that we need to share
further. Through advancement we become better people.
Poster: Flower Yourself!
Is our flower (ourselves) on the map? Despite the wishes
of many that LGBTIQ persons wouldn’t exist, they are here! Find yourself on the
map if you are on it. Bloom!

immoral?

"misliš li na mene dok me ubijaš? znaš li kako bole slatki orgazmi
koje mi poklanja tvoj čar i ljupkost! kad ti dodirnem grudi,
hoću da te penetriram, ti ne haješ, ti si me zarobila
i osvojila
i sad likuješ, dišeš kao da ćeš me potpuno slomiti... pa slomi me!"

My work is the trace let by the people that I've met and the places seen in the itineraries of my life. I have started to write poetry when I was seven as I felt that nobody could understand me. Now, I am doing the same in order to understand the others. My poetry is growing in the same rhythm with me and gathers inside sounds of lullabies and local folklore, jazz acoustics and African drums, love stories combined with dramas. Hope you will like it!

people are presenting themselves as individuals who are fighting for their own
world, while at the same time, as other young people, are coping with similar
passions, loves, fears, and problems...

…We are
faced with the end of identity politics where being a woman is no longer enough.
Global neoliberal capitalism has made phallocentrism its highest order. … The
question is how to act in the world of abstraction and empty signs, how to find
a position in a state of exception, when one is continuously watched and
supervised. Like Valie Export, I choose to include my own body in a media
installation that provokes self-reflection. The audience is projected onto a
square between my legs and is confronted with its own involvement within the
closed circle of power.
Who is allowed to watch and who is the person under surveillance? …’

Participants in the interview are
the journalist and two M2F persons who are describing their journey through the
transition process – the beginnings and the consciousness that they are
different from the rest of the population; aspirations and fascinations which
preoccupied them as they were growing up; professional life; the decision to
undergo surgery and procedure to complete their sex; problems and prejudices
they faced both as members of the society and the LGBTIQ community.

Author: Nino Jaeger
Nino is a queer artist living in Vienna, Austria. For many years, I identified myself as a feminist lesbian, worked closely with lesbian feminist community in Salzburg and Vienna. Then, I rediscovered my transsexual past and decided to start with the transition process from a female body to a “more“ male body. I do political work, more through my photos and texts than working in political groups. My focus is on being and belonging, sex, gender, the expression of the inexpressible and incomprehensive of sex/during sex that allows for transformation – at least for a moment...
My dad, 1937
– The photo deals with his history and my own life, my identification with
him. On things that I have in common with him. In 1937, my dad was 20 years old,
living in Ljubljana. The future seems to be open to him. But, after WWII, he was
emprisoned by Tito and his regime.
After he served his sentence, he left
Yugoslavia with his first family and moved to Argentina and the USA. The photo
is about the connection and similiarities of our journies and histories – even
if they are very different, we both crossed huge borders – me, with moving from
'female' body to 'something else' body, and he with migrating to another country
and starting a 'new life.'
A Call for Contribution (CfC) announced at the beginning of 2008 invited young, unaffirmed artists from the region to send in their works in different areas - prose, poetry, applied, visual, video, and theater arts. Out of all the works received, 30 have been selected of different art forms - photography, painting, posters, poems, stories, video work and performances.
The CfC was supported by: Dino Mustafić (MESS, Sarajevo, BiH), Dunja Blažević (CZSU, Sarajevo, BiH), Alma Suljević (artist, Sarajevo, BiH) and Zoe Gudović (queer feminist, Žene na delu/ Queer Beograd, Belgrade, Serbia).
