Sažetak
On the path of designating animals as Object + Subject + Symbol in neoavant-
garde and post-avant-garde art ([uvakovi} 1999:387), an interpretation
is offered in the article of the utilisation of animals as subjects (e.g. Monta`stroj:
Timbuktu, 2008); symbols (e.g. the use of a donkey in a Dadaist show, Croatia’s
very first “happening”, They Are Coming of the high-school group Traveleri on
16 November 1922); as well as the slaughter of an animal (the animal as an
object) on the Croatian performance art scene (e.g. Sven Stilinovi}: Bloodthirsty
Geometry, 2000). Namely, from 1993 to 2001 Sven Stilinovi} performed six
variants of the performance Bloodthirsty Geometry, whilst the performance in
Dubrovnik (staged at the Lazareti in 2000) also featured the slaughter of a
lamb during a solar eclipse.
