"The result of this action has strengthened physical and cultural boundaries, rather than abolishing them. This has created internal communities based on the criterion of exclusivity, and on the equation for which individual, ethnic and cultural identities coincide. The Historical premonition of Bosnia and Herzegovina belongs to our time and Europe as a whole. Policies applied in Europe with the aim of managing and preserving the cultures and traditions of its different ethnic groups forced them into defined boundaries within their host communities instead. The consequence is the creation of fragmented micro-societies with subsequent problems of civil cohesion. This generates division and fear of the other, leaving room for those who see an attack on western values in the mixture of cultures, or migratory phenomena. The performance Sad Short Story About Fears Epic Fail comes from the image of a meme, a nonsense image that is just for fun. For this reason, the title of the work uses the language commonly used in the viral phenomenon of internet memes: simple, ironic images that use a specific language and symbolism to ironically and anonymously communicate on every aspect of life and society. The work reflects the difficulty of maintaining an artificial balance and stability within dynamics that are fluid and constantly changing. Through an amusing, light-hearted image, the artist portrays the pathetic effort to recreate imposed order through the physical effort of the performers, the attempt to put unnatural and forced restrictions on an element that by its nature is varied, dynamic and constantly evolving. Swimmers trying to separate balls by colour in the water becomes a cheerful and mocking image of the complex mechanisms underlying the community we call Europe, and the attempts made so far to maintain a precarious and weak balance."
