LAUGHING BUTTERFLIES (2015) is sound installation of the sounds of laughter without a visible source that brings astonishment into the urban environment. By abstracting a laughter to its primal and archetypal, and underlining its ambivalence, this sound installation also reflects on historical physical and symbolic interventions onto that particular building. (Home of Croatian Artists, The Mosque, Museum of Revolution, Croatian Association of Artists)
