Partijski prelom - o tragovima destrukcije suverenovog lica
Party Rupture - on Traces of Destruction of Sovereign's Person

Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of nineties the question of governing rulers symbolic presentation emerged into the expansive use of old imagery and creation of new populist myths. The result was a neglect and gradually a devastation of the figures of late Marshal Tito among the current public and media characters. The symbolic change of such material remains has pervaded in obvious dislocations and destruction of mainly public bronze statues and busts. The border of such material culture has been defined into twofold directions. The first one can be traced in the effect of material disposed garbage, and the second inside the use and ironic practice of post-conceptual art. The found remains of such devastated sculpture of ex Yugoslavian communist ruler have been attributed in the composite works by Belgrade artist Dragan Srdić. In the sense of their conception of exposure the anthropology of this unknown people workers devastating remodeling points toward a social exposure and a new anthropological meaning.
