In the promotion of this book spoke one of the participants in this activity, Sara Sylejmani who says that among the main goals of the curator Maksut Vezgishi has been to create spaces where we participants should express their individual thoughts.
“This has been an analogy to the theme ‘How can we live together?’ Because it is a way of coexistence, once self-respect, and then everything around us “, says Sylejmani.
The curator Vezgishi spoke, first about the team and then about the installation.
“We started the formation of a team from a neutral point of view and I mainly chose people where I did not even know 60% of them before and I met most of them for the first time in Venice. I think that the content and the visual side of this installation have left a mark there and even more that we must keep in mind that we as a team did not have physical access even in space until the moment when the installation was placed, I was two days ago, it means we were there before the act was committed. ”
