"We are looking at the beginning of a nearly packed, simple, and at times even comforting story.
What is comforting is the infinite flat surface of the cardboard desert, which surrounds a small
cardboard hill. This is the scene where our principle characters have found themselves and they
have indeed chosen a pleasant place. Next to the hill there grows a cardboard tree and not very far
away sits a cardboard truck with a smooth, mirror surfaced silver capsule.

I would like to ask you not to try to understand the meaning of the photographs. They were made
as a starting point of an emerging electronic movie. They are an assay to introduce the plot and
the scene, just a tiny step towards the making the cardboard world and its actors alive. The actors
are not professionals, they are my friends whom I asked to pose in front of Robert’s camera one
day. The guy in the dark sweater is Žiga, a painter and a multimedia artist. It seemed logical to
include him, since he and I did an exhibition together at the Škuc Gallery last year, which was the
outset of this project. The guy in the light colored sweater is Luka, a DJ who is going to make the
soundtrack of the movie, and electronic noise the source of which the characters will try to find.
The girl is Dunja, a young art historian and a curator. She lives together with Luka.

In my cardboard world, I wanted to bring together people who know one another really well in the
real world."
