Ouverture (Perfect Future)
simoultaneous distribution of posters in Quebec City and Belgrade

You will be free, as you will be sheltered in a house surrounded by a garden of flowers and a minefield. For you will be a hero of celebrated defeats. A custodian of missed chances. An incarnation of national ideals: a mute body dedicated to survival.
You will be free as you will carefully explain to yourself that killing was a result of a long series of badly posed questions. Because your love for justice will be nothing but a mask of arrogance. Your pride a hiding place for panic. Your virtue the scene of a crime.
You will be free while others will utter your own words that you will recognize with disgust. Because you will scream in your sleep in front of unexplainable sites of excavated soil. Because you will cry for spilled milk. Because the idea of pissing down the wind will awaken nostalgic memories.
You will be free as you will patiently await the solemn appointment of a new timeless enemy. Because the inevitable closeness of the end will endow you with mystical enchantment. Because, in the moment of lucidity, the sense of guilt will be sublime.
