BASTARDS OF UTOPIA
Beyond Belonging
DOUBLE FEATURE
Over a 3-month period Maple Razsa and Pacho Velez accompanied three militant Croatian activists, who saw themselves as part of a new left-wing movement in a country that lurched to the right after the collapse of Yugoslavia. The trio systematically violated boundaries in their fight against capitalism and the nation state, believing that their cause justified acts of vandalism and violent confrontation with the police. Their actions were limited in impact but often contradicted the ideals they cited.
