TRaG - Snežana Golubović

We are TRaG.

We are Stefanie Trojan, Barak Reiser and Snežana Golubović.

In Serbian trag means a trace, trail, track...

We are German, Israeli & Serbian based in Frankfurt.

We are performance art trio. (But other artists and participants are welcome to join us.)

We are artists and friends.

After several years of friendship and individual work as performance artists we decided to try to perform also together. This came from a need to exchange thoughts, ideas, to experiment and create works that none of us can perform alone.

In Summer 2012 Trojan and Reiser created the first two works – "Bo-Gehen" and "Two Suitcases".

Since 2013 we work as a trio.

Circle #4: Billy System

duration: 6 hours
several neighborhoods in Frankfurt/Main, German

A work in which public bookcases change their social flavor by altering its content. This work creates and documents an exchange between public bookcases located in various neighborhoods of Frankfurt am Main. The repetitive action involves removing the contents of one cabinet (public bookcase) in order to transfer its complete contents to a bordering neighborhood's public bookcase. Following its removal the contents are then exchanged with that of the previous public book case. This invokes a movement within an area of a city, in this instance it was a circular movement, beginning and ending at the same place, same public bookcase.

Circle #3: Colosseo
2014
duration: 60 minutes
Walter-von-Cronberg-Platz, Frankfurt/Main, Germany

A one hour walk around a round building. How did the people manage to tear down the walls of Jericho? How long did it take to built up an arena? How often does it take to walk around a Colosseo in one hour?

duration: 20 minutes
Opernplatz, Frankfurt/Main, Germany

Circle #1: U-H-R, 2013
duration: 60 minutes
Frankfurt/Main, Germany

A temporary traffic island, made up of cement blocks, was the chosen location for this work. This circular area around the traffic island is used to represent the dial of a clock, or Uhr (U-H-R) in GermanThis one hour work has three performers. Each one of the performers is dressed in a different color (in this version: black, white and red) and moves about the dial like the hands of a clock. More specifically, each performer represents a different element of time, similar to the three hands on a clock's dial. However, in this case, the performers don't represent the standard time increments (seconds, minutes and hours), but rather increments of five, ten, and fifteen minutes, all represented by different distances. As a result, the three performers will only stand together (at the same point) twice on the make-shift dial, once after 30 min., and again after 60 min.
