Reconstruction

[Andrea Kuluncic] Reconstruction will consist of screening of two videos: “A Reconstruction of an Unimportant Day in Our History” and “A Reconstruction of an Important Day in Our History”, by the artist. First video shows a day in a life of Josip Broz Tito during his stay in country side, in the castle. Castle is also known under the name of „Tito's Castle“. Tito as passionate hunter, often stayed in the Castle hunting wild animals, alone, with his wife Jovanka (who was as well passionate hunter) or with eminent foreign statesmen. Second video reconstructs the meeting of the two presidents: Croatian, Franjo Tuđman and Serbian, Slobodan Milošević. The meeting was held on April 15th, 1991 in Tikveš Castle. First armed conflicts broke out in the region of Slavonia in the beginning of May, 15 to 20 days after that meeting. War reached Tikveš in the beginning of June. For a period of time Castle was used as a headquarters of Arkan's paramilitary group.
