6 This informative Pocketpedia (120 pages) represents short review of the events in all the continents, especially in the crises regions; it contains testimonies, statistics, actions, and reactions of governments, organizations and groups, statements of institutions, which are fighting against trafficking with people. I used interesting newspaper articles, Internet stories, drawings that I made out of photos. Today trafficking of humans is deeply infiltrated in the modern society, so this Pocketpedia is just touching the surface. It represents only introducing of the types of this inhuman trafficking. One of my main goals is to reach the whole public in order to disclose the number of victims of trafficking and the billions of profits that are realized out of their abuse.

8 Collecting materials of natural origin, concrete parts of human hair packed in small plastic bags unequivocal points to confrontation between natural and unnatural, the synthetic. But that s not all that the author wants to show in her project - instillation of bags filled with human hair, and as the action of cutting pieces of human hair because of taking individual information are only a way of asking a question which has a huge meaning today. That is the question of life sense in present, modern surrounding when by genetic engineering is possible to provide a situation in which what we learned in a lifetime should be transferred in the future, so our destiny would be filled earlier. Hair s root contains genetic information and it can also contain information about our physical and mental condition, depending on length. Therefore comes the fact that every single hair is a picture of our way of living. Through their hermetic packing in plastic bags, the author points to the plethora from the today s synthetic and also offers the assumption and the possibility that it could be exchanged - hermetical packing can take only 1% and the rest to be natural. It means asking a question like: Which is the next step in the era of massive cloning and manipulating, which bring dangerous mutations? Will it be a stressed need for improving the men itself by opening questions and dilemmas connected with cloning and all

9 criminal actions connected with it or will decide the other step, leaving the possibility away of genetic manipulation. Accepting the condition, because Alea iacta est genetic dice is thrown and all that we learned in a lifetime and it s placed in our DNA could move our last apprehend of reality- but will it be better to know our talents an weaknesses earlier?

10 Instillation 10 boxes with relief 65 x 170 Nullus effectus sine causa. (There is no reason with out cause) I was exploring human evolution, as a continuous process of development. I begin from ape, so I copied 5 of most reliable stages of human development going to homo sapiens (a contemporary man). Constant advancing of the man it can not be stopped, so according this human as a creature it is still developing and upgrading, trying to go to some other stage a man of the future (a new born child with elongated hands, big head and short legs).
