Nikola Dzafo's series of installations on the theme of the rabbit has been awarded the best exhibition in Serbia in 2011 by Belgrade daily Politika. Lepus in Fabula by artist Nikola Dzafo was an exhibition held in February last year in the Museum of Contemporary Art of Vojvodina.

Dzafo's creation was so named because it was composed of several similar elements – the Rabbit opera, an art installation made out of rabbits, and photographs of the furry creatures. 2011 was the year of the hare or rabbit- Lepus in Latin- according to the Chinese zodiac.
