Vogrda

The new video by the artistic collective Šikuti Machine, Vogrda, has been named after a meadow on which the protagonist (Darko Pekica) is absorbed in reading, while lying and minding his cows. Little by little, we find out that he is reading poetry, to be more precise, he is reading the American poet Walt Whitman. At the moment when the objective and social reality disappear in imposed „reconstructions“, re-branding and re-design, led by market economy and cruel interests when a strip of land represents a property, and the social interest in ecology gets marginalized, Vogrda takes us back into nature and encourages us to believe that there is a spot under the sun where the pastoral idyll is true.
