DK / The Thorn

"The Thorn is Damjan Kocjančič's new project of photographic investigation of the side effects of a transitional post-socialism running into a mad global capitalism. The Thorn points exactly toward the blind acceptance by the post-socialist condition of the capitalist-promised bright future. Concealed along this frenzied path lie, as corpses, the vulnerable bodies of individuals. desperately suffocated by drugs and alcohol. No perspective at all. These young souls are penetrated by substances that allow them to quickly forget and fall deeply into the zones of a trans-zombie situation." Marina Gržinić
