Sažetak
In the three-fold realm of definition of the buen vivir concept (Gudynas 2016:311-312), I am going to present selected examples (selected art works by Tajči Čekada, Josip Zanki and Damir Stojnić) in Croatian contemporary art praxis/practice, which are similar (though not the same) to the definition of the buen vivir concept, such as "living in harmony and equilibrium, in harmony with the cycles of Mother Earth, of the Cosmos, of life and of history, and in equilibrium with all forms of existence" (cf. Huanacuni Mamani, 2010). While Tajči Čekada realises this concept through the natural materials in her anti-fashion design, Josip Zanki, together with multimedia artist Bojan Gagić, achieved this return to Nature, through the revitalisation of an Early Croatian belief in the departed soul named mirila, through their art practice. Zanki's intimate, autobiographic story of funereal customs linked to the mirila begins deep into the Velebit Mountain region. Otherwise, Zanki's father is known as the builder of the last mirila at the settlement where he grew up and, while still a child, this multimedia artist became acquainted with the funereal custom practice on Velebit of placing the dead body on a stone plate and taking it measurements. Since he frequently visits Velebit, he himself started to visit the mirila locations and collect material connected with these funereal commemorations similar to graves. Further, I'll interpret spatial drawings made by fire, called Ignisograms, fire drawings, by multimedia artist Damir Stojnić from Rijeka. As well as his ritual performance arts using fire, which he has been performing since 2004, he performed in quarries in Istria which the artist calls Atelier Fire I and II.
