Spiritual and physical indulgence come together in this suit. It is made to be worn underneath the clothes on the naked body. It contains four vibrators, a vibrating dildo and touch sensors that are situated so as to correspond to the points on the body that are touched when you make a sign of the cross. Touch sensors on the shoulders activate the vibrators placed on the stomach and thighs, while the touch sensor situated on the stomach is directly connected with the dildo. In ancient civilizations sex was not restricted only to the intimate, but also belonged to the public sphere of life. Numerous religious ecstasies were linked to sexual ecstasy. The orgasm itself, the delight of love-making, was explained through the prism of God. Simultaneously a sensation and an act which creates new life – what could be closer to God than this? It is very hard to connect spiritual progress and contemporary life style. To satisfy the spiritual, one has to abandon physical indulgence, and to please one’s physical appetites, it is often necessary to ignore the spiritual principles. The sensors situated at the points that are touched upon making the sign of the cross change this experience, leading you from the spiritual presence of God to a physical sensation. After making love with God, your church visits are never going to be the same again. The work was produced at the workshop ‘Ecstatic bodies in Cyberspace – on the body politics in art and technology’, which took place in Belgrade in April 2008, and was led by Stahl Stenslie. Katarina Petrović (RS) Katarina Petrović (Niš, 1986) is a student at the painting department of the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade. Spanning various media, her works are informed by a constant desire for revealing the truth, digging for fear, frustrations and desires. This approach has resulted in topics such as painting herself as a victim of rape or as a prostitute, painting Hitler’s portrait in Austria, ordering the slaughter of animals for the sake of art and not food (even though she’s a vegetarian), dealing with homosexual issues in a homophobic environment, creating a suit for masturbation in church. She explores the psychological and social patterns of behavior and the way individuals adopt various roles in order to hide certain aspects of their identity from other people. She has participated in numerous exhibitions in Serbia and is the winner of 2008 KulturKontakt grant for the Summer Academy in Salzburg. Milan Nenezić (RS) Milan Nenezić (Belgrade, 1983) graduated in 2008 at the painting department of The Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade, as a recipient of the Fund for Young Talents scholarship. He has participated in several group exhibitions. He is currently working on an exhibition of paintings called I’m so beautiful. The moment after. Besides painting, he is interested in music, digital media, manipulation with sound and picture, the role of technology in contemporary art. Playing with the processes of commercialization and with popular culture, he combined explicit pornographic content with scenes from more prosaic everyday reality in the form of a music video. He made a suit for sexual gratification with God. Future plans include the exploration of the role of image within the world of corporations and questioning the image as a powerful instrument in the hands of a subject.

God Gives You Pleasure je odijelo koje spaja duhovno i fizičko zadovoljstvo. Namijenjeno je nošenju ispod odjeće, neposredno na golom tijelu. Sastoji se od četiri vibratora, vibrirajućeg dilda i senzora koji registriraju dodir, a koji su postavljeni na točkama na tijelu koje dodirujemo kada činimo znak križa. Senzori smješteni na ramenima aktiviraju vibratore na trbuhu i butinama; senzor koji se nalazi na trbuhu povezan s dildom. Za mnoge drevne civilizacije seks nije bio ograničen samo na intimnu, već je predstavljao i dio javne sfere života. Vjerske ekstaze često su se dovodile u vezu sa seksualnim ekstazama dok se sam orgazam, zadovoljstvo vođenja ljubavi, objašnjavalo kroz prizmu božanskog. Istovremeno osjećaj i čin kreacije novog bića. Što može biti bliže Bogu? Vrlo je teško spojiti napredak na duhovnom planu i ubrzani ritam suvremnog života. Da biste zadovoljili duhovno morate se odreći fizičkih zadovoljstava, a da biste udovoljili fizičkim apetitima vrlo često morate zaboraviti duhovne norme. Senzori koji se nalaze na točkama koje se aktiviraju gestom činjenja znaka križa mijenjaju Vaš doživljaj i vode od osjećaja duhovnog prisustva Boga do tjelesnog osjeta. Nakon vođenja ljubavi sa samim Bogom, odlazak u crkvu više neće biti isti. Rad je nastao na radionici ‘Ecstatic bodies in Cyberspace – on the body politics in art and technology’, koja se održala u travnju, 2008. godine u Beogradu, pod vodstvom Stahla Stenslieja. Katarina Petrović (RS) Katarina Petrović (Niš, 1986) studentica je slikarstva na Fakulteta likovnih umjetnosti u Beogradu. Realiziran kroz različite medije, njezin rad motiviran je stalnom željom za otkrivanjem suštine, detektiranjem strahova, frustracija i želja. Neke od formi kroz koje se realizirao takav pristup su, primjerice, slikanje sebe kao žrtve silovanja ili sebe kao prostitutke, portretiranje Hitlera u Austriji, naručivanje klanja životinja u svrhu umjetnosti a ne prehrane (iako je sama vegeterijanka), slikanje homoseksualnih tema u homofobnoj sredini, kreiranje odijela za samozadovoljavanje u crkvi. U svom radu istražuje psiho-socijalne obrasce ponašanja, te preuzimanje uloga putem kojih pojedinci skrivaju pojedine aspekte svog identiteta od drugih. Sudjelovala je na brojnim izložbama u zemlji i dobitnica je nagrade KulturKontakt za boravak na Letnjoj akademiji u Salzburgu 2008.godine. Milan Nenezić (RS) Milan Nenezić (Beograd, 1983) diplomirao je 2008. godine kao stipendist Fonda za Mlade Talente na Fakultetu likovnih umetnosti u Beogradu, na odsjeku za slikarstvo. Sudjelovao je na više skupnih izložbi. Trenutno priprema izložbu slika pod nazivom I’m so beautiful. The moment after. Pored slikarstva, interesiraju ga glazba, digitalni mediji, manipulacija zvuka i slike i uloga tehnologije u suvremenoj umjetnosti. Poigravajući se postupcima komercijalizacije i popularnom kulturom, eksplicitne pornografske sadržaje, u kombinaciji sa sadržajima iz svakodnevnice, realizirao je u obliku glazbenog video spota. Načinio je odijelo za seksualno zadovoljavanje s Bogom. U naredolazećim projektima bavit će se istraživanjem slike u službi korporacija i slike kao moćnog sredstva u rukama subjekta.
