Description

BAK, Utrecht

I did this work for the first and, to date, only time Bosnia and Herzegovina has participated in the Venice Biennial. In the two channel video installation a number of people are telling war jokes. Nothing is more Bosnian to me than black humor, and nothing tells more about war than war jokes.

A riddle: What is the one-handed Sarajevan looking for as he goes down the street? – A second-hand shop.
