FEASIBILITY STUDY
2022
paintings, installation

Dimensions 42x33 cm, framed.
"Feasibility studies" are conceptually realized as predetermined thematic-visual representations of the artist's daily
commute to work, return home, and the feeling of pressure that the work never ends.The interests of artists along this
route can be broken down into four groups that are unique to the development of any feasibility study and depend on the
arrangement of the four components: "people, places, power, and processes".
The artist
decided to start at the very end, positing that all social interactions result in "economy and death," and tried to unwind
the narrative backwards, looking for the point of personal functionality. In this light, all paintings become an interstitial
emotional compromise between work and artistic activity, a transitional life in liminal space, a compromise between the life
and profession of an artist "here and there" in Germany and his homeland, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In process since 2021.
Multiple videos in endlesloop.
"As If We Are Falling" are short Instagram
videos of Nikola falling from the sky on his
free day from work.
He utilizes the shortest video form combined with ritualistic celebration performing the staged laughter after faking the falling from the sky and saying "as if we are falling" with the
intent of mocking the present-day and counteracting the complex para-political
climate in which he lives, making the auto-ironical statement about social disorientation.
