What to know

"Si zea facolić? / Jesi li uzeo rupčić?" završni je performans Davida Belasa koji kroz ritualni čin peglanja devet različitih rupčića zatvara autorovu dugogodišnju izvedbenu praksu. Rupčići su namijenjeni svakodnevici (sedam za dane u tjednu), svečanim prigodama vjenčanja i crni za pogrebe. Naslovna fraza, tradicionalno izgovarana prije izlaska iz kuće, interpretira se kao posljednje upozorenje i pitanje: jesi li spreman izaći i boriti se? U ovom radu, rupčić postaje simbol civilizacijskog dosega, spremnosti za suočavanje sa svijetom te intimni podsjetnik na prolaznost, tradiciju i emocionalnu težinu čovjekova životnog ciklusa. Did you take a handkerchief?" is the final performance by David Bellas, which, through the ritual act of ironing nine different handkerchiefs, closes the author's long-standing performance practice. Handkerchiefs are intended for everyday use (seven for the days of the week), weddings and black for funerals. The title phrase, traditionally spoken before leaving the house, is interpreted as a last warning and question: are you ready to go out and fight? In this work, the handkerchief becomes a symbol of civilizational reach, readiness to face with the world and an intimate reminder of transience, tradition and the emotional weight of the human life cycle.
