Dialogue: 0,0:06:38.62,0:06:40.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So very early, understood that
Dialogue: 0,0:06:40.35,0:06:42.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there is certain things I can't do.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:45.66,0:06:47.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in the same time, I got a revelation
Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.61,0:06:49.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in this moment of looking to blue sky
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.56,0:06:51.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that actually I can use everything I want.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:51.54,0:06:53.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can use the water, the islands,

Dialogue: 0,0:07:03.23,0:07:05.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this was the moment that I decided
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.38,0:07:07.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that it's completely ridiculous to go to the\Nstudio
Dialogue: 0,0:07:07.57,0:07:09.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and make something that is two-dimensional
Dialogue: 0,0:07:10.26,0:07:13.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I could have entire world there for me.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:17.80,0:07:19.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's when I stopped painting.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.63,0:07:42.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So after this huge revelation,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:42.57,0:07:43.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually what for me was very interesting
Dialogue: 0,0:07:43.97,0:07:46.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to start working with the sound.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:48.52,0:07:50.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What was interesting me about the sound
Dialogue: 0,0:07:50.13,0:07:53.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to create sound environments where, you\Nknow,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:53.25,0:07:54.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you have one impression listening to the sound
Dialogue: 0,0:07:54.97,0:07:57.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but visually, completely another impression.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:59.06,0:08:02.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the first idea I had, it was to put the\Nspeakers
Dialogue: 0,0:08:02.03,0:08:04.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the bridge, of the main bridge in Belgrade,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:04.10,0:08:05.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the sound of bridge collapsing.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:06.95,0:08:09.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So when you're on the bridge itself,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:09.33,0:08:11.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with every three minutes, the bridge is falling\Ndown
Dialogue: 0,0:08:11.28,0:08:13.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but, visually, it's not.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:13.07,0:08:16.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And of course to do such action, you need\Nto get permission
Dialogue: 0,0:08:16.42,0:08:18.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from the city mayor.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:18.07,0:08:20.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So i went to the city mayor house.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:20.56,0:08:21.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Again, happened the same thing,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:21.73,0:08:24.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they absolutely forbid to do this,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:24.25,0:08:27.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because they told me that, actually, from\Nthe vibrations
Dialogue: 0,0:08:27.53,0:08:30.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with that kind of sound, the bridge can really\Nfall down.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:30.70,0:08:31.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I could not do it.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:35.89,0:08:38.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I did it with the building where I was\Nliving,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:38.16,0:08:40.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it was only for ten minutes the whole\Npiece,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:40.32,0:08:42.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because the people, inhabitants, were just\Nrunning out
Dialogue: 0,0:08:42.85,0:08:45.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thinking that everything's bombed.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:45.44,0:08:47.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that was kind of big mess.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:51.01,0:08:54.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Somehow dealing with the sound, I come to\Nthe point
Dialogue: 0,0:08:54.12,0:08:56.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I had my first performance "Rhythm 10,"
Dialogue: 0,0:08:56.47,0:08:58.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which actually used the knives.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:58.58,0:09:00.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the "Rhythm 10" is a sound piece, again.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:01.14,0:09:02.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have the, you know, tape recorders
