Artists

Flipped Stories – Eros and Thanatos, an innovative project presenting inverted narratives through video, installation, and sound. The first episode, Marriage (2020), sets the stage for the second episode, Eros & Thanatos 2024 by Aleksandar Spasoski. Inspired by a serious accident, this 6-minute upside-down video captures recovery moments on a Munich tram, reflecting Freud’s concepts of Eros (life) and Thanatos (death). Through this flipped perspective, the work challenges how we perceive life, death, and resilience. Eros & Thanatos is a profound continuation of Flipped Stories and a candidate for the Balkan Contemporary Art Prize Buna 2025. Watch and reflect.
