| Slav Poster | |||
In collaboration with writer/artist Payam Sharifi. Arnhem, Netherlands. Spring 2006. Description: Slavs at home are no less displaced than Slavs abroad. We are not nomads. We are rooted to one too many places. What's more: the places in our heads and hearts sometimes don't recognize the ones on the maps and vice versa. We are the hair on a mother's head, pulled in different directions by her numerous children. It hurts but, as John Cougar once sang, it hurts so good. The country we call home, the country we used to call home and the country we dream to call home are all very distinct and disparate places. It is the result of a productive schizophrenia: we are in all of them at once, a ravishing sensation but one tempered by the slow, sobering devastation of never being in any one entirely. Exhibited: 30ANSCHLAEGE posters in public space of Heidelberg, Germany. Curated by Vito Bica and Götz Gramlich (10 March - 30 April 2006). Sold: at Colette, Paris. as well as on line through PayPal secure server: |
