Public intervention on a derelict basketball playground in Vrbik neighbourhood, Zagreb. The former public court from the 1980s had been left without hoops, rims, backboards or markings. A new backboard was installed with the text:
FALI JAVNOG PROSTORA (We Miss Public Space).
The phrase borrows from a local vernacular already present on the streets of Zagreb: ‘fali zidara’ (we miss builders), ‘fali pjesnika’ (we miss poets), redirecting a familiar structure of collective longing toward the question of public space as a shared and neglected resource. Realised after one month of Open Studio at Galerija Miroslav Kraljević (G-MK), Zagreb, July 2020.



Fali Javnog Prostora (serbo croatian) = We Miss Public Space
