Description : This work is the first part of Scene for New Heritage Trilogy which presents a futuristic world set in the year 2045. A group of people set off on a search for their heritage, everything seemed like a relief. History has become a fictional object and the time created a collective amnesia. They arrived to, for them, an unknown place of powerful historical character marked by the death of the last Croatian king, World War II, the partisan hospital there, to which a monument was dedicated and then again the war in the 90's . But all this was no longer visible to them, only the monumentality of the place puzzled them. They moved towards recognition. Interestingly they spoke a language similar to Ganga folk song, which is performed in a primitive polyphonic rhyme.. Recognition of the forgotten place took time and the ignorance caused nervousness. It seemed that the question of heritage is going to remain unsolved and that their moment is their heritage.
