It is a group work, made together with Sašo Sedlaček.

While travelling lavatories are in the same way as continental breakfasts one of luxuries or goods of the twentieth century in hygienic sense and the toilet its ubiquitous icon. Philosopher Slavoj Žižek wrote about multitude of the lavatory types exposing German, French and Anglo-Saxon toilet and how these different types of excrements disposal characterises the national character.

Because travelling to the east the toilets changed according to different national characters and in India we found them all, even more, we found Indian squat toilet and euro Indian lavatory. The final number of the different types of lavatories that we encounter is five. We decided to manufacture the needlework sketches of lavatories in India, where the labour is cheap.
