BOX FULL OF POSTCARDS (ViennaBudapestBelgrade - three cities as one)
Definitions of national and political borders as geographical spaces are in delay regarding our abilities to experience borderless, virtual, trans-national spaces within lost, potential, past, present and future territories, at once. In the present times when notions of center and periphery, inside and outside, east and west, are continually in flux many people find themselves in the global condition of displacement. New nations-within-nations are being created, hybrid nations of (inner or physical) migrants, immigrants and (ex)patriates. How does this affect the collective unconscious? How are common patterns of memories, instincts and experiences being rearranged to conform to new realities? What and where are the true places? Who defines what a true place is? How can we define our experience of a place? This project reflects on how imaginative geography intensifies someone’s own sense of self-description. Box full of postcards, a work in progress, presents collages of memories, documents, souvenirs and messages from a three cities as one.Katarina _evi_
