Nataša Živković: DE MORTIUS NIHIL NISI BONUM*
*Of the dead, only good
When we bury someone, we sometimes have the illusion that they have come back to life in front of us. The corpse stands up and smiles: don’t worry, I’ll always be with you. For ever and ever.
We will say goodbye to the tired body of an institution that was born of an idea on 7 July 2011 and died by decision on 23 August 2012. Our baby was barely a year old. We never buried it in peace. Perhaps that is why it haunts us and wanders around, from office to office, from drawer to drawer. It has no peace and cannot get up again. Therefore, it deserves a decent burial.
Rise from your own ashes and be reborn as a beautiful dancing phoenix!
