#2 In this one-year project with a previously determined timeframe (03.01.2005-03.01.2006), the artist meticulously, and often obsessively, described what happened each day of the year and what her thoughts on it were. Sometimes in less and sometimes in more detail she illustrated different situations in her life (e.g. preparing an art festival application/exhibition, looking for a job, being ill, travelling abroad, etc.), noted her mundane “rituals” (e.g. eating, sleeping, watching TV), and discussed about current topics (e.g. the Macedonian art scene, artists’ professional development, war against terror, visa regime, etc).

#3 The final product of this project is the 365 unique cards, including text and photograph (taken or found by the artist), one for each day of the year. In September 2006 this project was presented in the Museum of Contemporary Art-Skopje where the artist gave one card (in an envelope) to each visitor and then mailed the remaining ones to close friends and colleagues in several countries in the world. Through the act of sharing and accepting a “gift” from her the audience became a direct, not just indirect, (part of the audience was recalled in the card’s content) participant in the making of the artwork.
