Oruđe delanja predstavlja ciklus radova – slika, crteža i
animacija – nastalih tokom poslednjih šest godina. Ciklus ispituje
stanje savremenog čoveka u društvenom sistemu koje se sve bahatije
odnosi prema pojedincu, negirajući one osnovne principe za koje se
čovečanstvo borilo kroz XIX i XX vek.
Oruđe delanja govori o apatičnosti čoveka, o njegovoj nevoljnosti da
se probudi iz novostvorenog sveta u kome se živi da bi se proizvodilo,
time hraneći jednu sistemsku Hidru, koja zadire u sve aspekte
života i nameće konzumerizam kao suštinu savremenog bića. U
tom procesu, stvaralac proizvoda je i njegov konzument, ukodiran
da stalno robuje sistemu kako bi ostao deo sistema. Višedecenijska
medijska indoktrinacija postala je osnovno sredstvo manipulacije koja
objedinjuje sve ljude, bez obzira na prividan status koji im je dat.
Glavni likovi grafičke novele prikazani su kao oni koji uvode red u
društveni poredak. Njima su data prividno veća prava, koja oni koriste
beskrupulozno, poput učesnika u Milgramovom eksperimentu,
spremni da drugom nanesu bol, jer pozicija iz koje nastupaju jeste
pozicija dželata. Ta pozicija se čini sigurnom, baš kao što se sigurnim
osećaju i učesnici u Milgramovom eksperimentu koji drugima daju
elektrošokove. Istom nesrećnom logikom se rukovode i čuvari reda
u grafičkoj noveli. Njihov status je siguran, maska na licu je zona
bezbednosti, utočište od sopstvenog divljaštva. Oni su spremni da
budu u sistemu koji ne vidi pojedinca, koji ne priznaje čovečnost.
Oni dočekuju one nad kojima im je data sloboda da čine što god žele,
zaboravljajući svoje sopstvo zarad Hidre koju ne zanimaju pojedinci
već brojevi.

Instrument Of Activity is a cycle of works – paintings,
drawings and animations – created over the past six years. It explores
the status of the contemporary human being within a social system
that treats the individual with increasing arrogance, abandoning
those fundamental values towards which the humankind was striving
throughout the 19 th and the 20 th centuries.
Instrument of Activity speaks about the apathy of man, about his
unwillingness to wake up from the newly created world in which one
lives in order to produce and feed a systemic Hydra which penetrates all
spheres of life, imposing consumerism as the essence of contemporary
humans. In this process, the creator of a product is at the same time its
consumer, encoded to be a permanent slave to the system in order to
remain a part of it. The long-established indoctrination through the
media has become the basic means of manipulation which unites all
men, regardless of the apparent status assigned to them.
The protagonists of the graphic novel are presented as those who
police the social order. They are assigned seemingly greater rights,
which they exercise unscrupulously, just like the participants in the
Milgram Experiment. They are always ready to hurt the other, because
their position is that of the executioner. This position is seemingly
safe, they feel as safe as the subjects in the Milgram Experiment when
administering electric shocks to others. The same goes for the keepers
of order in the graphic novel. Their status is safe, the masks on their
faces represent a safety zone, a refuge from their own barbarity. They
are ready to be a part of a system which does not see the individual
and does not recognize humanity. They process those over whom they
are accorded absolute domination, while neglecting their own selves
for the sake of a Hydra which cares for numbers only, not individuals.
