patients at the Pazaric Institute for Mental Health in Sarajevo, who sing Hollywood songs such as “As Time Goes By” and “Singin’ in the Rain.” “Hollywood is the symbol of a dream machine condemned to failing and appearing ridiculous when faced with reality,” the artist explains. “Parts of these songs have been edited into a whirlpool of images and sounds that surround the viewer on three sides. Vertigo has no narrative: it communicates on an emotional level, in an attempt to show how these stories no longer explain a thing. Hitchcock’s title merely serves to underscore the abyss between dreams and reality. […] We live in a world that suffers from amnesia, from the loss of ideology and values, a competitive jungle in which only the young, healthy, beautiful and rich – and the ones that keep silent – have the right to claim happiness. The rest are simply edited out of society. Like Hitchcock’s Vertigo , my work similarly begins with a trauma that leads to further trauma. There is no escape.”
