THE FRAME / OKVIR
The creative process started with the questioning of the idea of narcissism: how much narcissism is there in an individual and the society? To what extent is it part of our everyday lives, of our modern society in which our greatest burden is self? Choreographer Borna Babić found his inspiration in the book written by the American psychotherapist Alexander Lowen, Narcissism: Denial of the True Self. This is what Borna says about his work: I've always been intrigued by the conflict between narcissism and modesty, which, I believe, resides in all of us. What makes us take one or the other side? What wakes them up, and is the shift between the two a conscious effort? I have often seen and recognised these two sides in myself and other people, so I wanted to understand them better.
