Debris Company: Únos Európy

In the age between governments, old forms are disintegrating, everything is decaying and the new is unable to be born. Progress is transformed into a fight for survival. It doesn’t denote advancing forward, but rather escaping the present disaster. Life is becoming a series of ever-changing episodes with no room for questioning the purpose of life. Are we on a ship of fools swimming around Europe or are we in hell with the Europe which has been kidnapped?

The hell of the living is not something that will be. If there is one, it is what is already here, the hell we live in every day, that we make by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the hell, and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of hell, are not hell, then make them endure, give them space.” Italo Calvino

This mythological story about the kidnapping of Europe is a story about beauty, naiveté, desire, omnipotence and values, which are over time replaced by fear, paranoia, decay and chaos under the influence of many circumstances. It is equally a story about contrasts and the phenomenon of withdrawal into one's inner world, which contrasts with the world of nomads, migrants or wayfarers. The clash of these distinct worlds becomes a foreshadowing of slavery, war, death and the spilling of blood. Contemporary Europe is literally becoming a fulfilment and a physical representation of ancient Greek mythology. The kidnapping of Europe is stripped of its figurativeness and brought into the reality. And man is always the one behind it. Or is it so?
