My Very Significant Other
(personal piece)

This piece was made for Stefan Sagmeister’s class: Can Design Touch Someone’s Heart. Dora decided to touch from a distance. The aim was her boyfriend in Croatia, so she rewrote the story about them and illustrated all the situations and small jokes important to both of them, placing them on a huge poster (almost 2 meters long) and kindly asking their friends to paste it on the street and make him run into it.  You can read story here.

The Sandwich Project
(personal piece)

The Sandwich is based on a idea of approaching and touching strangers without inconvenience disguised under cover of simple mask and excuse. We dressed up as 2 pieces of non-vegan sandwiches and gave away printed excuses with convincing polaroids for people that where running late that morning. We seriously had a fantastic time. We’ve never touched more people in 4 hours. And they were happy about it. That doesn’t happen often in life when touching strangers. For a short time there was even a line formed.

Doppelgänger Portrait

Through Bruno Models Agency we tried to find our tangible look-alikes. After casting more than 134 models whose resemblance to us was more than striking, we decided to take A. and B. who were significally better looking, prolifically intellectual and with skin condition close to perfection. Their bodies were connected together with Kraft Super glue, in order to get better visualisation of monumentality and posture.
