Edition of 4 b/w postcards, 10 x 15 cm

– we’re running, we’re walking, we’re standing still
frankly, what difference does it make?
(3/2001)

– hope is bigger than possibilities
but smaller than illusions
(4/2001)

– when I die let five jars hold my ashes
one for kisses one for tears one for joys
and one for sorrows
and the last one for Eternity
(5/2001)

– thinking of death is not good for living
thinking of life is the best
at dying
(70/2006)

Set of postcards accompanied the exhibition “I Have a Great Handicap,
I Have No Theory” by Miljenko Horvat (1935 – 2012), the youngest
member of the famous Gorgona group (1959 – 1965) from Zagreb.
The exhibition held at the beginning of 2012 was his first solo
exhibition in Zagreb since 1965, before he left for France and later
settled in Canada, and was last one held during his lifetime.
Texts on the postcards are a selection of his poetry titled “Selected
Haiku and other illusions”, rarely published and originally written in
English.
