text written by Marina Grzinic
text in Slovenian, translated in English;
On the Flies of the Market Place is a video that deals with the idea of the European space, divided, sacrificed. In an exemplary visually constructed surrealistic world of facts and emotions, using documents from books and magazines the video raised the question of rereading the European space: East and West Europe. With references to history, philosophy (Kant) and arts the video is elaborating the idea of the Eastern Europe as the indivisible remainder of all European atrocities. Eastern Europe is a piece of shit and the bloody symptom of the political, cultural and epistemological failures of this century.
