NOOSE AND CRYSTAL WERE CREATED FROM THE SAME PRESSURE (2014)

Artistic Assistance

Softić's book is about speechlessness, the dislocation and disgruntlement of the body, the confusion of times and the accumulation of failures. It revolves around open wounds and asks the question: what does history mean at all? He describes displacement as an existential caesura, and although being displaced is usually a collective experience, it brings with it the most intimate feelings of isolation. Now and then, crystalline structures can be found in the exiles' shattered experiences, but mostly the torn threads of their own history become knotted and tangled into traps and loops.
