"Elena Skoko Sugar Babe, with her expression based on fashion, performance, concerts and urban actions, mainly in Bologna where she lived and in numerous visits to other European cities, leaves a visible trace; points out her own urban identity as the identity of her generation. In her nomadic actions, using fragment strategies, she is like a parasite conquering the city’s facades and urban structures with her stickers, leaving a tag – and a trace. Her works range from authentic fashion items she designs herself (ready made clothes) to graphic design. They are placed on a crossroads between high and low, elite and popular culture, fashion and art, the determinant capital of clothes in the world of symbolic exchanges. Through “fashion” and dressing Sugar Babe questions the meanings of the body and clothes in creating the identity of the individual, an area of creative freedom or part of subculture groups." Branka Benčić, curator
