Unbeing dead isn't being alive. (E. E. Cummings) But who are you really? Photographer Luka Klikovac gives an unexpected answer to this question in his new exhibition titled Manifesto using a hybrid of an educational doll and self-shaped humanoid figure, painted with bright, warning colors that we find both in nature, as well as in signaling for nuclear danger. This elegant anthropomorphic figure illustrates classical ways of committing suicide in front of our very eyes taking place in meticulously built and consistently cinematographically lit spaces of apartments, garages and workshops. Most of the photos are shot during the socalled movie night, and the models of the rooms are surrounded by unspecified garden and park greenery, which reinforces the impression of dramatic isolation of each individual suicidal event. In this way, the anthropomorphic doll, a post-media example of a possible representation of man, serves, like the photographs themselves, for a forensic reconstruction of the tragic act of supreme alienation, hopelessness, and even helplessness in relation to the modern "state of affairs" - a world of neoliberal reproduction of values that serves to increase the already growing class differences, and the creation of untouchable and invisible communities of the privileged; the networked consumer anonymous consumerism of circulation and retrieval of goods and information, which turns the user into a compromised subject, a passive recipient of an incalculable amount of services that would simultaneously profile him - both in his "life and personality" (Schopenhauer), in his choices, development and his very Being (Heidegger).
