As far as punk developed in the circumstances of ‘no future’ for new generation, entering fashion, music, graffiti scene and film making, with the time, it continued existing as a strong esthetic influence, loosing completely its ideological background it grew up on.
What does it mean to really be punk today when being punk became a part of fashion as Japanese Hallo Kitty? Where to look for punk attitude understood as not obeying to the system, going forward, fighting for independence and freedom in the name of ideas? Punk movement partly seen as very romantic, doesn’t seem to have much space in the materialistic world of 21st century where funny enough, most of the population wills to fit the system rather than fight it.
Research ‘Looking for the lost punk attitude’ expresses rather a point of view onto life as a human being and as an artist. In current phase of my artistic activity, distance between my life and art diminishes more and more thus I decided to make no more divisions. Art I have always seen as a battlefield, today, I am asking how can we afford to be sleepy artists reproductionists? I am conscious that performance art field is punk already our days, it is in itself a rebel on a social scale, a protest that unfortunately doesn’t meet with much interest. Still, is it possible to make it again into a revolutionary movement today? To change, to start anew, to go against, to oppose and how to do it; where to look for a punk in yourself are my questions.
