Pascal and I were in a fotokopirnica earlier this evening, photocopying something. Pascal picked up a Belgrade city guide, one of those 5×7 glossy productions, and started flipping through it out of boredom. And then he found this:

Pascal designed that graphic for a press release a month ago, we shipped it off to KIOSK and hadn’t thought of it since. How COOL to see this little synopsis of our project, randomly. The photocopy lady was a little mystified by our excitement.

Tomorrow we take to the road for 15 days, to do our part of the research/photography. Milica, Pascal and I decided that, aside from hitting a couple towns and cities that the other artists couldn’t reach because of money, time, geography or whatever, we would target people living in border towns, especially borders where ethnic tension still lingers (Croatia-Republika Srpska, an entity in the Federation of Bosnia and Hercegovina) or where the influence of EU culture may already be in the air (the Croatian border with Hungary, the Serbian border with Romania and Bulgaria).

This is what our decision-process looked like:

Like military strategists.

And this is where we’re going (pink dots):

Yessssssssss.
