In the Šibenik district of Crnica, on the spot where once a monument of the TEF factory was, the art collective Lovers will install the work titled "Temporary Monument for a Factory Monument.” This art work is based on an earth-battery, "one small lamp that can be held on a fingertip" and which is "powered by 8 sacks of soil" (from the text by Lana Pukanić). On the location of the former factory, whose residues are noticed only in the slag sedimented in the soil, emerges a temporary monument which points to the need for a creation of a new relation to energy (which is usually perceived as light and warmth), but also to soil on and from which we live. Simultaneously, by positioning itself on the spot of the discarded monument, this performative installation also indicates the necessity of preserving the memory of the place.
