The artwork United Species, deals with the history of the Park of Peace and its belonging art collection in Slovenj Gradec as well as with the possibility of its expansion in the context of the global present. The idea of this park as a Freedom Grove in a public space was created on the occasion of the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the United Nations, and the art in it had the task of communicating the brightest ideals of the United Nations.
Investigating the potential and poetics of this place as well as the role of art to communicate the principles of unification and not separation, peace and freedom and not destruction and occupation, at the international level, I also learned that many plans of the culture and arts sector turned into unfulfilled wishes, and that many hopes, voluntary work, care and knowledge of the youth work brigades grew into a biotope (living community) and a living habitat for various plant and animal species in the park.
As the biotope and the living habitat are an inseparable whole, and art is always a reflection of its reality, in the global crisis present, the conclusion emerges from this park of peace, that the future is possible only in conditions of peaceful coexistence, solidarity and bio-culture.
That's why I use the medium of text to invent a new model of community and symbiosis, expanding the taxonomy of the unfinished art collection with dendroflora and ornithofauna, because we can renew language, invent it, and use it to see that the world is a reciprocal community of living beings, united species and not just united nations.
