About Me

CURRENT MISSION

working!

ABOUT ME

I hate karaoke. But otherwise I am pure fun to hang out with. According to a friend I worry a lot, but am also ''witty and warm hearted''. I like beer and chatting. I can listen to your problems and we can make fun out of people, who are mean. I dance, if the oppurtunity calls for it. I like pizza, so I am a down to earth person. My father plays the lottery and my mother collects serviettes.

I wrote my cultural studies BA thesis on internet memes and humor. I also finished art history studies by doing a diploma research on contemporary zines. I appreciate old museums and new art. I write texts and articles on contemporary art, movies and TV series. I even had one or two poems of mine published. I work as a curator of contemporary art and a zine librarian in Ljubljana. Sometimes I try to do the Slavoj Zizek's accent to appear smarter.

PHILOSOPHY

Be careful, but fun.
