- Despite the fact that he is not graduated artist, but a teacher of Croat language and literature.00:00:11.531
- 00:00:11.531
- So he got into the artistic work later and gradually.00:00:17.152
- 00:00:17.152
- He is perceived by experts and public as socially involved performer,00:00:21.582

- 00:00:27.102
- such as political and social climate in Croatia, very often he deals with massmedia issue,00:00:35.234
- 00:00:35.234
- and its impact on views and life of ordinary people.00:00:43.373
- 00:00:43.373

- 00:01:08.253
- 00:01:08.253
- regarding formal language and stylistics in Labrovic work, everything is pure and simple,00:01:20.476
- 00:01:20.476
- without post-production inputs into the final artistic work or video performance.00:01:26.767
- 00:01:26.767
- The main tool is Labrovic body and it becomes the artwork itself at the same time,00:01:36.783

- the body is medium he works with and at the same time the artwork.00:01:45.949
- 00:01:45.949
- Very often we may see in his work drastic interventions into his body,00:01:54.448
- 00:01:54.448
- as in the project Smiley he cut the form of a smile on his face with a razor blade.00:02:01.803
- 00:02:01.803
- What is important - there is an absurd black humour in all his artwork.00:02:10.581
