Anti-monument TITO
Anti-monument TITO
The psychological magic of Tito's death forced Mustafa Odobašić alone, to carry alone, in the name of love, 12 tons of stone up the hill Vratolomac above Zvornik to imprint the name of Tito. The absurdity of every war forced me to leave 13 white circles on the remains of Mustafa Odobašić’s inscription, meaning TITO in Braille letters. The meaning remains the same, only the lettering differs. The letter does not recognize nationalism and religion, but a basic human need to understand the world around. "A WATCHING LETTER" becomes anti-memorial now, allowing the viewer to understand the unspeakable. It encourages irony that destabilizes the memory and opens up discussion on how we remember and what we remember. It does not impose meaning, but rather forming a personal and collective responsibility of the individual according to the events that led to the disappearance of many lives that once loved to look at the TITO sign.
