Tu nema ničega!

Dubravka Ugrešić

In her provocative essay, Dubravka Ugrešić considers life in post-socialist Europe and Croatia using the example of spas.

The former topos of civic culture, as a kind of sign of escape to idleness beyond social life, in the new historical conditions has become the most pregnant metaphor of the desolation of a space and time, from Bania to New York. The essay is accompanied by a series of photographs by Davor Konjikušić, who together with the writer visited several spas in Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. There is nothing there! was designed by Damir Gamulin Gamba.
