Project ''Complex on sale'' examines the standards of human beauty and its idealization imposed by society. Through the humor it depicts an artist's personal frustration, observing the surplus on her face as an object. Lollipops are attractive visually within the artist surplus becomes someone's sweet bite. Video installation connects two different complexes that suddenly share the ground. In a non-artist space (Ibarska highway) the sale of the complex becomes an interactive space to communicate with the audience on the road (come-and-go-people). The comments received from the audience are different in their approach. Some of them are advisory, while others without too much interest in the reason for the sale, make a confident decision which nose to buy. Omnipresent monotony and expectation that potential customers can come at any moment, make the sale process introspective.

The project was created at the beginning of 2018 and it had been actively happening during 2019. Photos and video installation are documenting the complex's sale on the road near Belgrade, Ibarska highway. The action was happening in front of the board on which is written ''Complex on sale''. There is a stand with about 50 plaster casts in the shape of the author's nose. The objects, like souvenirs, change their purpose in a gallery space, where instead of plaster casts for sale are eatable lollipops in the shape of her nose. The nose-lollipops can be purchased and consumed on the spot.

Statement:
''Sometimes, he just decides to grow. I am confronting directly its size. It takes up most of my face, sticks out, collides and spreads on. Massive and variable. Nosy parker.''
