The exhibition “60 Seconds of a Dalmatian Woman” is conceived as an interactive experience that explores the weight of everyday insults, prejudices, and comments to which women are exposed. Through themes of appearance, behaviour, emotions, ambitions, and identity, the exhibition reveals how constant exposure to verbal and social pressures shapes, distorts, and undermines female identity, while such patterns are often accepted as normal.

The exhibition’s title stems from the author’s native environment, but carries a broader symbolism of attitudes towards women. Dalmatia, known for its directness and honesty, becomes a metaphor for a space where honesty often turns into crude and unfiltered criticism. Like spaces that are exhibited and valued, women are also often subjected to constant observation, evaluation, and social condemnation.

The exhibition space is shaped through six circular stations: “Geni” (insults focused on appearance), “Krivi koraci” (pressures related to life choices and ambitions), “Osjetljiva tema” (attitudes towards emotions), “Etiketa” (expectations related to appearance and behaviour), and “Mjera” (judging value, success, and identity). The visitor passes through a dark space along a zigzag path that symbolises destabilisation and the consequences of accumulated condemnation. Each station contains a distorted mirror and audio recordings of insults, creating an experience of confrontation and introspection. The final space “Odraz” symbolises liberation: by removing the fog from the mirror, the visitor discovers their true reflection and symbolically removes imposed identities.
