Open the museums!
Open the museums!
Europe is haunted
By spectral ideas.
Open the museums
To nationalism,
To dead ideas.
Open the tombs!
R. I. P.!

[“Open the museums” by Srečko Kosovel]

Ljubljana is becoming a popular tourist destination, offering pocket town cheesyness, so the tourists are becoming an integritive part of local audience. A the same time Slovenian southern border has been for the first time in history (as a result of "anti-migrant" measures) fenced with barbed wire. The installation being placed in the opening entry room as a spectator comes into the museum - this context forming the piece in form of an orientation map, as ones placed in parks, touristic points, Disneylands and shopping centres - showing one's location in a space.

Exhibited in Museum of Contemporary Art, Ljubljana, as part of "Commentary" series (#9), 2018
