    Text on the wall:
    Back when I was at the art academy, I think it was my 1st or maybe 2nd year, I once read an interview in the newspaper or magazine with a “contemporary” artist from ex-Yugoslavia. I don’t remember exactly where was he from nor his name, but what stayed with me from this interview is a statement he made at one point, saying something like:
    If I were to live in France or Norway... I, as well, would like to or would make works that analyse or study the relationship between “line” and “circle”. But look at me and look where I live, I can’t just stand with my arms crossed, I have to make art that is socially engaged, art that reacts to the situation that I am in.
    Today, when I moved from Bosnia to France, I decided to use the naivety of this statement...
