After having visited this impressive and thought triggering exhibition, I'm really wondering how people from not the ex-eastern block countries would feel after their visit, because the thing is that it has surfaced for me some still existing and not solved issues about national identity, belonging, power-relations, supression and the current special situation of the mid-Eastern Region of Europe, where we live in.
This area has always been a home to extremely wide range of folks, nations and various ethnic groups, with the influence of the western culture and periodically a supression of foreign powers.
To examine and have a clear overview about all the impacts in relation to ruling powers and national identities this exhibitions should be useful and fitting all kind of people in the world, not only the members of the mid-Eastern Eu. region.
As for the installation techniques, I confidently can assert that with the short guided tour I gained all the information I needed to the works and they did not disturb enjoying eachother, which would be mostly the case in loud video installations close to eachother.
