The artist always maintains a performative element, either in the production or presentation of the artwork. Since the 90s, Kopljar has called his works constructions which relates both to the constructive relationships within the work, and to the constructive space created in the relationships between the work and its viewers. The works are then titled in numerical order, K1, K2, etc. with 'K' standing for construction (konstrukcija).[1]
