Trying to imagine the opening day of the Pรซrtej exhibition in Belgrade in a year such as 1997, we will be able to distinguish from the courtyard, the experimental music that penetrates through the premises of the Center for Cultural Decontamination, with sounds that are as surreal as the time that we are recalling. Then these lines from Omar Khayyam’s Rubaiyat emerge in an obsessive and at the same time indistinct manner in the acoustic landscape created by Ilir Bajri and become, as he himself says, “a metaphor for the โ90s in Kosovo, where we were slowly dying every day.โ
In fact, the works of the four artists not only represent the time and the historical situation of Kosovo in real time and even preceding it, but also mark a dividing point where the traditional forms of art up to that time are exceeded.
The works in the exhibition consist of the foreboding and anxiety of the decade materialized through contemporary artistic mediums. And those turbid visions will come true only a few months after the opening of the exhibition, with the outbreak of the war and the attacks against civilians.
