ABOUT FARTY
First edition published by Plato/Balkan Publik/Palladin, Belgrade in 1994
Third edition published by BEOPOLIS, Belgrade, 2000
FARTY raised as a little 'naughty' story told as a joke
to a daughter Iva, later on formed as a picture book for children.
Surprisingly, it provoked many positive reactions
in children’s world as well as in the world of adults.
Children automatically reacted with laugh, especially
when 'forbidden words' were spoken, which
gave to the whole story some sort of familiar tone.
For adults, it was opportunity to'release themselves'.
New and unexpected overlook to the project gave the
experiment of clynic psychologist Marija Milic,
who succeeded to apply this story in psychotherapy with children.
On January 1992, Boda Markovic directs radio-phantasy
'About Farty…', which was presented at the world’ festival
of radio drama in Monte Carlo 1992. For that occasion, picture book
'Farty' was printed in limited edition, translated in four languages.
Animated cartoon 'Farty' tells the first of three stories.
The illustrated book was published in 1994, followed with flip-book.
BLURBS
… Farty is an extraordinary character for me, I have a lot of fancy for his problems.
…Farty, it is almost revolutionary, teaches a child that
one can speak about EVERYTHING. …meni je Prtko sjajan, imam puno simpatija za njegove probleme.
…Prtko, to je gotovo revolucionarno, dete uci da se O SVEMU moze govoriti. (…)
dr Zarko Korac
…Farty is joyful and quite unexpected »disturbance« in the world of adults. (…) In work with children (…) »fartycillin« gives good results because it communicates directly, on the immediate level. (…)
…Prtko je radostan i sasvim neocekivan »poremecaj« u svetu odraslih. (…)
U radu sa decom (…) »prtkocilin« daje dobre rezultate pre svega
zato sto komunicira na nivou neposrednosti, direktno. (…)
Marija Milic, clinical psychologist
…Therefore, Farty is real Serb, he ate beans and after that thunderously had some marches… and his parents were happy when he shitted…
…Naime, Prtko je pravi Srbin, on se najeo pasulja i onda je gromoglasno
imao neke svoje marseve… i roditelji su bili srecni kad se on usrao…
Boda Markovic
…Rastko Ciric successfully made a pie out of shit…
…Rastko Ciric je uspeo da od govana napravi pitu…
