Four in one / video / mini dv / color / 8:30min / 2010 The work entitled 4 in 1 is a self-reflection of and upon the impact of my art as  observed in a broader social, cultural and political context. The multiplication of  Igor Bošnjak as an artist, critic, theoretician and curator tells the story of personal  ‘schizophrenia’ and a split identity, striving to be in the current, alert, attentive  and sensible, dynamic and successful in his community.  N. M.: Deleuze and Guattari introduced the term schizoanalysis to make up for  the failure of psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis channels desire by means of  censure and auto-censure. In that way, the subconscious and unconscious serve  the preservation and reproduction of the system, instead of liberating man, in  accordance with their unlimited creative potential. According to their theory,  those are the ultimate limits of capitalism. Schizophrenia thus becomes the  essential determinant of postmodern culture, a sort of media ecstasy, i.e. media-  generated collective fanaticism. In the work 4 in 1 you multiply (clone) yourself  into four Igor Bosnjaks. You act simultaneously as an artist, theoretician, critic  and curator, creating a multiple schizotypal personality. Does the splitting of the  contemporary artist's personality relate only to your experience of creating up-to-  the-minute art forms, or may this work be interpreted as common for the practice  of art nowadays? Is this construct applicable to the broader social environment  you work in? I. B.: Anti-Edipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia opens up new possibilities for  reading and understanding the role of the subject in today's global society. The  video work 4 in 1 is perhaps the most explicit expression of this, of this very  desire, i.e. of the relations between subjects and desiring-machines. Decoding  fluxes and deterritorialising the Socius thus represent the strongest tendencies of  capitalism. It is constantly coming closer to its limits. It strives with all its might  to produce a schizophrenic as a subject of decoded fluxes on a body without  organs. When it is said that schizophrenia is our illness, the illness of our time,  this does not only mean that modern living makes people crazy. In fact, we wish  to say that capitalism, in its process of production, creates a powerful  schizophrenic charge, which it suppresses with all its repression tools, but which  does not stop from being reproduced as the limits of the process. It is exactly  through the agency of this imposed framework that capitalism restores all kinds  of artificial, imaginary or symbolic territorialities, within which it tries to re-code  those individuals who have broken free from abstract quantities. In a way, 4 in 1  attempts to dymistify the generally acceptable stances and norms in the system of  art. The splitting of my personality as seen in this work comes from my practice  of contemporary art, my theoretical writing and thinking, work as a critic, as well  as some curating projects I have been involved in. The linear narrative reading  and exposition of me as multiplied, i.e. of me as an artist, then as a theoretician,  as a critic and finally as a curator (who is lighting a cigarette in a theatrical  manner, while the artist, theoretician and critic are looking on silently), really  speaks about the currently dominant position of the curator. Because in my  opinion, today, the whole system of art, the global art market, the great biennial  exhibitions are mere playgrounds used by curators to make decisions and select.  What the artist, theoretician or critic do is not too important. In fact, everything is  sublimated through the curator's selection, who decides on who is an artist and  what is art today. For, the schizophrenic is positioned at the very limits of  capitalism: he is its strong tendencies, its hyperproduct, proletarian and angel of  death…
