The work Heroes addresses phenomena of personal fascination.
The approach is intimate, documentary, and subjective. Existing objects are placed in new relationships with the immediate environment through free interpretation of meaning and value, thus creating an intimate memorial — a new document of personal history. The assemblage consists of objects which form a monument of passion through their mutual relationships. It is temporary, without a permanent form or fixed associations between individual pieces. Under the ever-changing nature of fascination, i.e. by constantly varying its intensity, the structure enables easy rearrangement, change of location or complete dismantling.

Background
Critics Have Chosen is an exhibition held at the Fine Arts Gallery, Cultural Centre of Belgrade, since 1969. Art historians and fine arts critics present various aspects and contexts of contemporary fine arts production in Serbia at the beginning of each exhibition season. Since 2001, the format has evolved into an authorial exhibition curated by the winners of the Lazar Trifunović Award for fine arts criticism.
In 2016, curator Irina Subotic selected twenty exhibitors — sculptors, painters, architects, and photographers — who responded to the theme of Monuments and Ideas.
