Who’s the Landlord?

Selected video for the Utopia Month, contemporary art center Flux Factory, New York City, 2014

 

At the time of Tito's socialism, everything was related to the name of the leader of the Yugoslav Federation. When we said “Who`s the landlord?”, we meant that we were giving our devotion and dedication to Tito, and through him we were all related to each other in 'Brotherhood and Unity'... But the game was played by the children like a desire, because the truth was that this 'landlord' represented the system during a time when power dominated everything, therefore the play itself was utopian, because theoretically there seemed to be 'Brotherhood and Unity' despite different ethnicities, while practically and realistically we were confronted with deep ethnic divisions and a system of domination. But… the game transcends the preceding story. 'Who is the landlord ' is, in fact, symbolic and is in this way related to each time and to each society that is seeking for a new utopia.
