Kao malo vode na dlanu (Like a little water in the palm of my hand), a project about love in Serbia, 2014-2018

Abstract

What is the amorous thinking we have incorporated, who exploits it and who abuses it? What inequalities does it generate and what withholding of recognition does it entail? Does it contribute to the reproduction of inequalities or can it subvert them? Can it be a productive force or only reproductive? Is love, when all is said and done, a passion of domination or of emancipation? As a way of relating to these questions, in this film-conversation in which only two people seem to be talking, many voices from different places are heard: the interpretation of the Yugoslav Wars, the transformation of ownership since communism and the transition to capitalism, the critique of romantic love, the anarchist legacy and feminist anthropology, the condition of the stranger and the tragedy of the refugees, psychoanalysis and the fiction of a police interrogation in which art calls into question the meaning of its practice.
