My Roommate

Orangutan

Moj cimer je orangutan

Concept / Deconstruction

Two protagonists with developmental disabilities are placed against the urban world they are trying to enter. Simple geometric forms become both city architecture and a map of their perception, while the deliberately slightly archaic language recalls theatre posters of the 1960s and 1970s.

Reflection

Refleksija

Concept / Deconstruction

The title is constructed as a rotational ambigram: it remains readable after a 180-degree turn. The mirrored reading embodies the two faces and states of a protagonist who moves through life stages and gradually becomes a different person.

Priest Ćira

Spira

Pop Ćira i Pop Spira

Concept / Deconstruction

The title is treated as a stage rather than a caption. Negative spaces inside and around the Cyrillic letterforms reveal household objects, silhouettes and scenic motifs, binding typography directly to the production's world and action.

When
Pumpkins
Blossomed

Kad su cvetale tikve

Concept / Deconstruction

The protagonist's life as a boxer and the violence of revenge are condensed into hanging gloves and traces of blood. Worn, inexpensive wallpaper evokes a difficult life and the ordinary Yugoslav interiors of the period.

Wheels

Točkovi

Concept / Deconstruction

A vintage, inexpensive motel-wallpaper pattern anchors the action in its setting. Wheels with different functions, ages and appearances share the same basic construction - a visual parallel for people whose differences conceal a related inner structure.
