Belgrade: Parallel Urbanity

video installation 2001

DATES AND LOCATIONS:
November 2001, Arthur Ross Gallery, Columbia University, NEW YORK, USA

This collaborative project gave birth to the Mikser philosophy. After being engaged in numerous socially aware projects in the field of urban design, journalism, documentary film, art., the four authors from diverse continents and from newly independent states joined their studios for a series of collaborative projects that explored urban phenomena that had been neglected by mainstream media and organizations. Their diverse professional and academic backgrounds offered a variety of insights and modes of expression.

The Video installation "Parallel Urbanity" reflected the urban condition defined by systems of parasitic environments which are the result of the dialectics between parallel systems of survival and the underlying infrastructure of Belgrade. This relationship is both symbiotic and antagonistic.
