Exits are Clearly Marked

written by Vedran Mimica

 

The highest form of moral is not to feel at home in one’s own home.

Theodor Adorno

 

Prologue

 

When I come to Zagreb, and especially during the Days of Oris, my friends, who were my generation at university, usually ask me: ‘How’s it going, Mimac, where did you say you lived?’ My answer is that I more or less live in Schiphol, Amsterdam airport, and I travel for about six months a year. Otherwise, I live in Rotterdam, but only some hundred metres from Rotterdam airport.
