Description
Relaxing in the midday sun is a dangerous proposition if there is a rattlesnake slithering nearby. This story, however, can end in very different ways.
Mladen Đukić: “I’ve seen the war firsthand, when I was a kid. I know what conflict is. Fed up with people asking me to take sides in modern conflicts that they know nothing about, I decided to make a piece in which we can talk about possible outcomes and angles of the same event.”
