The work Property is a photograph that documents the need of a citizen of Cetinje to beautify, decorate and, consequently, magnify, isolate from monotony the entry into their illegal garage space, in one of the residential settlements of the periphery of the city. In this way, roses are usually used to decorate larger and more famous, mostly private buildings and properties. The time required to invest in the maintenance of the roses of this proportions, we will rarely find for decoration of warehouse purposes. The fact that in a row of more or less similar garages by the scale and aesthetics, only one garage has a double-leaf door decorated in this way, renders visible the activity of will and feeling, the need to approach the least daily routine action with creativity. Even in the conditions of a strictly determined reality, the impulse of human conditions of work, creation and action can give unexpectedly brilliant examples.
In times of neoliberal global capitalism, the accent of such a modest property is read as a paradox, criticism and attempt to correct the course towards which many societies move today. Here we do not see the ambition pursued by the American garage myth at the moment of the emergence of Californian IT giants that will lead to the 4th Industrial Revolution, but on the contrary, it glorifies the small, irrelevant and non profitable. Free time is becoming apparent in this work at the time of the human-labor crisis that stretches today at 24h every day of the week. It becomes a corrective and a reduction of the oversized desire deformation for possession and property, to the extent of a sense of boundary and a break, which would restore to equality the notions of the individual in relation to the collective, the ownership in relation to sharing.
