Artist Statement
Since 2000 I was researching various approaches to reality in Eastern Europe. I wanted to show how past influences presence. The history of Eastern Europe is changing all the time, depending on political structures. In my view, communism has never finished, it has just transformed into something else. During normalization period people were taught to be passive. I couldn't stay without opinion, I wanted to visualize this process of transformation.
