Ritorno al mio paese natale

An old venetian monastery and the text of croatian writer Predrag Matvejevic Return to the native village used to illustrate the post-traumatic syndrom of the inhabitants of ex-Jugoslavia. Outcome of the Joseph Kosuth Workhop of art techniques at IUAV which task was to make a short film constructing a critical narrative of a country that was currently in conflict. The filming must take place in Venice, but Venice mustnt be identifiable. Important was to look at venetian architecture with different eyes; decontextualize it by stripping off the inherited meaning, drain it of your everyday associations and instead appropriate the physical part of the buildings and focus on the psychological and social aspects. The aim was to an exercise in the psychology of perception, the use of appropriation and the construction of meaning as part of a cultural production whose issue is seeing architecture. (2004)
