Based on her own experience as an artist lacking in formal education, Jana Prepeluh was – via a shoe cleaning street action entitled Pri Tleh (Down To Earth) - researching the attitude to non-material or manual work by overworked alienated individuals in a contemporary society in which work is still associated with social status. The artist wanted to investigate prejudices – looking up to, or down upon – towards others, as well as people’s notion and perception of moonlighting in public.
