<\/p>\n

There are no people. Because, there are just no people.<\/p>\n

Is\u00a0 it about \u00a0anything other than a map of suffering,\u00a0 cartography of pain, billboards of horror, numbers of fear? Holly bureaucracy, that\u2019s what it is, reality so vulgar that is sacred. It\u2019s content: indifference. Its form: statistics. Irrelevant is important. Unimportant is urgent. Quantity: endless multiplying. Quality: erosion of responsibility. Holly bureaucracy, more complex than art. There are no people, only finger prints.<\/p>\n

And emerging from that pile of paper, cuttings, trimmings, selvages, trash, \u00a0glued leftovers of the world which is no longer:\u00a0 arte facts, hard evidence, anamorphosis, deposits of silence, nothingness and absence. We are pealing that onion in five layers, connecting five dots to draw a human, looking for a beating heart by exposing:<\/p>\n

-synonym of art, painting,\u00a0 hidden to represent\u00a0 the invisible tissue of living; ruined, unfinished, faulty, empty canvases\u00a0 wrapped like a package in search for an address;<\/p>\n

-from the interspace, the space between languages, between stories, we record tales from the meantime, tales in need of a listener;<\/p>\n

-broken, dismantled, worn keyboard elevated to the level of valuable exhibit;<\/p>\n

-booking of a road trip out of reality;<\/p>\n

-and home. House, Sanctuary, La Casa, Das Haus, HOME!<\/p>\n

But people? There are no people. Just\u00a0 Others.\u00a0 That\u2019s why in mad race to reach utopian latitude and longitude of desired home, in reaching a mathematically correct illusion which will finally justify\u00a0 life reduced to \u00a0bare survival, that Other, which is a stranger, outcast, stateless, runaway from greed and wars \u2013 runs straight into the wall of Fortress Europe. And on the other side of the wall, noble westerner presiding at the cabinet of ideas \u2013 he is upset. His precise weaving of narcissistic boredom comes face to face with the invisible ones, unwanted ones,\u00a0 wretched ones; the pile of \u201cMulticultural leftovers of history\u201d(\u017darko Pai\u0107) is staring at him. No escapism, although their move is escape. There are no people, just leftovers.<\/p>\n

This string, series, this frieze from \u201cpoor art\u201d is puzzle of anxiety, there is nothing aesthetic or impressive about it, this work is discomforting because it goes around looking for patience, again and again. History is always repeating itself as a farce. But, without pompous gesture this exposition is whispering:\u00a0 art may not be able to change the world, but it can alter consciousness, attitude, heart. Are you a beating heart?<\/p>\n

And yet, bored nevetheless?<\/p>\n

Say, what\u2019s \u00a0your excuse for being indifferent?<\/p>\n
