A Matter of Escape

An escape from the context we are integrated in is not only part of our survival strategy, but also an urgent step toward strengthening our presence in the world. Escape is an expression of our desire to break with the genetically limited psychology of the community that we (when we decide so) do not want to be a part of anymore. Escaping is part of the process of defining and modelling our presence in the world that is based on intimidation and feeds the need to escape as a way to get rid of fear and live freely. Art as a matter of escape – in Homecoming (Povratak kući – Marina Abramović i njena deca, 2020), a documentary about Marina Abramović, and as a personal experience.
