The artist Iza Štrumbelj Oblak in her long-term project I'm Looking for Friends radicalizes and questions the modern way of making friends. The work is the author's tool for combating feelings of alienation in the municipality of Medvode, where she lives but does not know anyone. This social experiment is her absurd way of pointing out the difficulty of meeting new people and building relationships solely with friendly intentions, without love assumptions. The biggest challenges for her are how and if to approach an interesting person and how to invite a potential friend to maintain the relationship - if, of course, she gets along with him to the extent that she would like to.
Through public invitations in physical and digital forms, she sincerely invites people to socialize, thus requiring them a significant degree of self-initiative, thus exploring the openness and activity of society and testing first-hand how it treats individuals.
Another event will take place in the future.
