“PLEASE GIVE ME A SLAP / NOW OR NEVER!” Miro Župa /
INTERVIEW BY Claudio Parentela, 2005 / SCROLL DOWN FOR ENGLISH TRANSLATED INTERVIEW


1.) Reci nam nešto o sebi – u 10000000000000 weird riječi!

  • Pelikanol, Combatcondom, Fourth rabbit, Wormhole, Turkey eyebrow i još 100000000000000000….

2.) Ti si, dakle, što – plesač, zeleni vanzemaljac, strani špijun, umjetnik, underground strip-crtač, avant-shit-noise-extreme-body-performer-hallowen-witch ili nešto drugo… I što?

  • Sve to, ali obrnutim redoslijedom.

3.) Tvoji zadnji projekti & budući projekti & na čemu radiš u ova apokaliptična vremena…

  • U zadnjem sam projektu pokušavao poljubiti svoje dupe, ali sam pritom slomio jedan kralježak, pa ću u sljedećem projektu pokušati poljubiti dupe nekoga drugoga (u ovom apokaliptičnom vremenu).

4.) Kakva je underground strip scena u tvojoj zemlji?

  • Usamljena i zelena.

5.) Što misliš o power of the comics; misliš li da strip može promijeniti ovu ludu realnost, da može na nešto utjecati… Ili ništa od toga?

  • U mojoj zemlji, prema načinu na koji živimo, power of the comics nije ništa bez snage mojih šaka. Tako da razbijam i svojim stripovima i svojim rukama, a nešto čak i djedovom lopatom.

6.) Ti samo crtaš? Ili se izražavaš i na neke druge načine – & koje & kako?

  • Ponekad spavam, ponekad pijem kavu i čitam časopise, ponekad promatram aute kako jure ulicom u kojoj živim i onda se užasno zabrinem i izražavam se bljuvanjem u kantu. I radim grafike.

7.) Sviđa li ti se suvremena umjetnost i pratiš li je? Što ti se sviđa? Što mrziš?

  • Ja ne pratim suvremenu umjetnost, ona prati mene… Ponekad me sačeka iza vrata i preplaši me svojim novim oblikom.

8.) Jesi li uključen u glazbenu underground scenu? Općenito, što slušaš?

  • Općenito ne slušam ništa, ali osobno općenito volim sve što želiš, možda i više.

9.) Je li istina da si sudjelovao na “PER 24000 BACI” u Ravenni? Kakvi su ti dojmovi?

  • Što? Ne znam, zbunio si me, idem sad doma.

10.) Jesi li realizirao koji svoj strip-album?

  • Oni su realizirali mene! Razumiješ?

11.) Tvoj kontakt…

  • Opet si me zbunio! Što je s tobom?

12.) Poruka za čitatelje – iz srca…

  • Ništa se lijepoga ne može iscijediti iz mog srca, bio bi to veoma ljepljiv odgovor. Zato bih radije odgovorio iz koljena. Budite dobri i nemojte me opet udariti!
