"Decades prior to the radical metamorphoses executed with aplomb by contemporary artists like Nikki S. Lee and Cindy Sherman, there were those of Claude Cahun and her partner Marcel Moore... Besides being prolific theater and performance artists, the pair created countless self-portraits in a variety of guises, all with a smokey, ethereal quality that prefigures the delicate work many years later of a young Francesca Woodman... Don't Kiss Me is a collection of these startling photographs, and also includes drawings, manuscripts and ephemera, framed by essays about the artistic odd couple courtesy of seven international authors. For many, the book will be their first experience of Cahun and Moore's singular artistic vision, but surely not their last." (Nylon Magazine)

What determines our place in history? If it is the past, there we also find the material support with which we reconstitute our historical place. Our relation to history remains retrospective, but also anticipatory.
Events begin with a break from history. But they soon are recaptured by it and fetishized as historical triumphs or failures. Still something remains of past events that, although conditioned by history, is irreducible to it: a surplus that finds way to our time, something out of time that forces us to actively anticipate a renewing in past events.

On July 26, 1963 a disastrous earthquake destroyed large areas of Skopje. The erection of prefabricated houses provided a number of countries with an opportunity to contribute visible reconstruction aid. Over the last 50 years the imported houses have steadily transformed and grown. PRE/FABRIC undertakes a search for traces in the biography of these houses and their use.

In this work, I make a closer investigation of the history of the house, the family biography and the perception of the house as a deviation from the norm. In The Island, the run down palace is used to portray how a place can challenge a town’s structure, architecturally and socially.
