Dva
umetnika, Saša Marković Mikrob (Beograd) i Mixup (Nottingham, Engleska) su među
malobrojnim koji koriste foto-automat kao umetnički medij. Da bi radili zajedno,
Mikrob i Miksap se sastaju svake godine naizmenično u Srbiji i Velikoj Britaniji.
Prva zajednička akcija se odigrala daleke 1989 u Srećnoj galeriji Studentskog
kulturnog centra. Ovogodišnja akcija se odvija pod zajedničkim naslovom THE FACE
FITS THE STORY (LICE ODGOVARA PRIČI).

THE
FACE FITS THE STORY, 2004
A collaboration between Mixup and Microbe
Mixup
first visited Belgrade in 1990 to meet Sasa Markovic and create some artworks
together using photobooth machines. We both also like to use masks in our work.
After this meeting we continued to work together sometimes in Belgrade and sometimes
in the UK. Using techniques like painting and collage we have developed a style
which combines our use of colour, faces, creatures and strange settings.
At
the beginning of 2004 we started this project by sending each other little paintings,
photo's, collage and whatever. We add to it, or rearrange it and send it back.
We keep it to an A4 size for convenience. I scan the pictures and photocopy them
at various stages as we go along for documentation. The finished work can then
be enlarged and effects added on a photocopier.
