The research performance The Debt of Rakek Saška / The Debt of RS is based on Saška Rakef’s growing financial debt and blocked personal account and the influence that the debt has on the dynamics of her everyday life (her psycho-physical condition, her standard of living and organisation of activities, the dynamics of her interpersonal relationships, her perspective/vision, or rather, the lack of it, and her strategies of salvation: bankruptcy, moonlighting, off-shore accounts). In collaboration with experts in the field of arts, economy, law, and psychotherapy, the project seeks the parallels between the processes that unfold within the specific personal story and those that we recognise within a wider social reality which are connected to the increase in national debt (the consequence of economic/financial/political/social status in the state).
