ALL THE CITIES OF THE NORTH

Two men share a shelter together, a place they inhabit not out of a need to escape, but out of a desire to imagine a new order of things. Boban and Boris live within a set of almost identical abandoned bungalows, in the midst of stray donkeys, plastic bottles and red berry bushes, reed beds, tall trees and transient workers. Someone else enters this secluded space and its patterns are disturbed. The world outside arrives and brings stories of other times, of cities to the north and south, of how things are made. Waiting for Godot meets the aesthetics of socialist realism, in a formed modernist utopia on the borders of time and of Balkan geography.
