The Valley of the Uncanny Lovers

The first chapter of the video installation The Valley of the Uncanny Lovers is written by the student of the faculty of dramaturgy in Belgrade Mitar Milecevic. The story tells us about a tree leaf called Tinny. The leaf lives on a tree surrounded by concrete mountains. One day it falls in love in a platonic way with a flower that lives on the ground and in order to meet the flower, the leaf does everything to get down to the ground, asking for the help of the wind to take it away from the life in the tree to reach the flower at any cost on earth. After many attempts, thanks to the wind, the leaf manages to fall from the tree and get closer to the much sought-after love. When it reaches the ground, the leaf realizes that it was not a flower, but a lifeless lithium battery. Even though the battery does not respond to the leaf’s questions, it decides to live with it until the end.
As is often the case, artist Driant Zeneli’s works come as a result of co-creations, this time with KCB’s invitation to collaborate with a group of students of the Faculty of Dramaturgy in Belgrade.
