Started in 2008 The Reminiscing Tito project contains several pieces of work and has been presented as an instalation. Different types of media are used; video, photography, found footage and graphic work.
The project tells the story on how banishing of the past takes place and what the consequences are for society. As a little girl I became a Pioneer, every child became pioneer at the age of seven and a member of the pioneer movement of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia which was part of the social communism under Tito's rule. Tito fascinated me, I felt his importance to the adults in my surrounding even though he had died in 1980. A couple of years after becoming a pioneer Tito disappeared from public life, nobody talked about him anymore and all the images and statues were removed from the public domain. This formed the base for my research that conscists out of capturing the disapereance of Tito from the Croatian society and the following conscequences.
The research leeds us to the recent past of Croatia where the past 15 years a social amnesia is taking place. Zooming in on the theme denial of history and the following mythology which is taking place in Croatia, I show that openness about the past is aN essential building stone for the present.
