YU/RO
by Sorin Oncu
YU/RO is a project that contains a series of self-questioning works determined by apparently false animosity between the ethnic and the national identity. The friction between legal and cultural determination of one self in shaping one’s identity only deepens the confusion lived between what you are identified as (a Romanian in Serbia - a Serb in Romania) and how you identify yourself (a Serb with no Serbian cultural identification or a Romanian with no provided Romanian legal determination). Identity from this perspective seems to be volatile and shapeshifting just like the borderland itself (from Yugoslavia to Serbia and then to Europe).
