The performance “Marking“ was performed on the first of October 2010 on the occasion of the opening of the 10th UrbanFestival entitled (im)possibilities. This multimedia festival took place from the first to the seventh of October 2010 in the Upper Town, a part of Zagreb which, together with Kaptol, is the city's nucleus from which it was developed to its present size. The festival's main topics were Power, Control and Surveillance. Among other things, one of the issues dealt with was the ban on public gatherings in the Upper Town.

The Upper Town's central space is undoubtedly St. Mark's Square.

According to the legend, Ambroz Matija Gubec, the greatest Croatian folk hero who led the peasant uprising in Zagreb region in 1573, met his end on that square.

In Croatia, government is organized on the principle of separation of powers into legislative, executive and judicial branches, and the highest institutions of these branches, The Parliament, The Government and the Constitutional Court are situated on the St. Mark's Square. The Church of St. Mark, one of the oldest buildings in Zagreb, originally built in 14th century, symbolizing the Catholic Church, that powerful, Croatian fourth authority, is also situated there. The City Council is located in the near vicinity of the Square. Because of this concentration of power, St. Mark's Square was an ideal place for protest gatherings. The space of the Square and the nearby streets is covered by more than 60 surveillance cameras. In 2005, to forestall potential problems, the Parliament passed the law popularly known as the ban on the public assembly on St Mark’s Square. At the time, HDZ, a nationalist party, had the majority of seats, and the head of the Government was Prime Minister Ivo Sanader. He is also sentenced to 10 years in prison in a first instance verdict on the charges of theft and corruption. Because of the said Law, the protesters repeatedly clashed with the police, and a number of people, particularly those belonging to the civil society organizations, were convicted of the breach of the said Law. But the Government also breached that law, but, naturally, wasn’t sanctioned by either criminal or misdemeanour penalty: in April 2008, the Government and Prime Minister Sanader organized a gathering there to welcome U.S. President George W. Bush.

Animals mark their territory in a number of ways, including that of leaving traces of their scent, usually by urinating.

My performance started with me walking up to the Square at noon, accompanied by some 20 people. I went to the centre of the Square, took my penis out and urinated in a circle around me. When I was done urinating, the result of which was a beautiful, almost perfect circle, I put my penis back into my pants and walked away from the Square.

By doing that I confirmed that this place and all it represents, in the historical, political, cultural and every other sense belongs to us and that we are responsible for it.

By this vulgar gesture I also wanted to reaffirm that animal aspect of life, the life of the body, the necessity and the biology, a life often banal, yet one without which all that metaphorical and symbolic splendour is not possible.

Also, by this gesture I expressed my opinion of the institutions located at the St. Mark's Square, of their contemporary history, their power and the way they used and keep using that power in society.

The boundary of the circle separated me, metaphorically isolated me, but also connected me with other people, the Square and the entire world.
