Tomislav Gotovac: Don't Ask Where We're Going
As he stated in several interviews, some also reprinted in this publication, Tomislav Gotovac did not have an exhibitionist’s easy attitude to nudity. He found it quite hard – even shameful – to bare all, to the point where on a number of occasions he demurred, at the last minute, from undressing before an action or performance. Vocally, however, he had no such reservations. In his interviews, he spoke openly and without mincing words about everything – the art system, art, Zagreb, his childhood and growing up, his body, sex, religion, his friends and acquaintances and, last but not least, again and again, film.
