Lack of meaningful work caused Arab Spring, the unrest in southern Europe, the misery of a debt-saddled US.

This is / was my 2002 proposal for a funerary monument commemorating the dead at the World Trade Towers site. Needless to say, it was not accepted. So I post it again here now on the 10 anniversary as a sort of conceptual monument to a non-monument.

Croatia, 2010, 1h22, HD
New York premiere



A theatre troop from Split goes to New York on September 10, 2001. The troop is composed of a young married couple with their son, two girls and a young man. They are welcomed by their New York producer of Croatian descent and her American husband who works at the World Trade Centre. Suddenly, the troop finds itself in the middle of the September 11, 2001 destruction. Relationships between them change under the influence of the force of the events surrounding them...

"On September 11, 2001 I was in New York and I witnessed the terrorist attack and its consequences firsthand. I wanted to put the photographs I then took in the context of a feature-length film. The fiction part of the film is in full format while the documentary part is in split screen. The film tackles the senselessness of destruction, the unbreakable unity of everyone on this planet, as well as our unjust destruction of the animal world to which boy’s fantasy leads us." (Dan Oki)
