Manuel Pelmuş’ work, "Two Times" adds a live, ‘immaterial’ piece to the collection, literally questioning the Kontakt Art Collection’s future and the idea of a physical collection in general. His starting point is the work of Mladen Stilinović, in particular his work “Two Times / Dva Vremena,” which Pelmuş transfers to the living body through a collaboration with a dancer who performs periodically, each time producing the work anew. "Two Times" playfully begins from the same sleeping position assumed by Stilinović in his famous photography series "Artist at Work" (1977), actualizing questions of labor, time and the economy of ‘the new performative turn’ in the arts.
