"I live in a small village in the outskirts of Zurich and I collect dead animals. My mother also does. I usually just let them dry, but the bigger ones I put them in alcohol."

Artist Isabelle Krieg and photographer Marianne Engel have connected their personal and artistic backgrounds to produce the public space installation “Animal's Heaven” in the courtyard of the squatted cultural center AKC Metelkova. Krieg's old car has been transformed into a delicate funeral garden populated by dried dead animals, some of them coming from Engel's personal collection: butterflies, frogs and different kinds of insects. A mummified hedgehog lies in its grave in the truck.

Europe is boring. Boring for its self-sufficiency, among its own boundaries; Europe is a jail of virtual affluence and credit standard in which migrants without asylum, lesbians without lovers, intellectuals without mass media, and the homeless without comrades are wandering around. Europe is boring for its “white” conviction that it is better than the others, as it is supposedly the cradle of education, culture and literature. It is boring in its perpetual ecstasy with its fat kisses and broken glass on our lips. It is boring with its perpetual integration, which is being swallowed as a sacrificed young body, while images of hatred, slaughter and genocide are whirling in its eyes. Europe is boring because of its ritualized oblivion and ritualized machines of desire that never stop their craving.

In Ljubljana there are several academic, non-governmental and grassroots groups whose individual members cooperate in public protests against cases of misogyny and discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation. Their collaborations are provisional as they form in response to particular cases of discrimination or hatred and usually disband when other political groups decide to join or continue their efforts. This defensive, even reactionary position is one of the reasons for their political and public invisibility. Nevertheless, they are important agents of both continuity and change within the fragmented feminist map of Ljubljana since the alliances were initiated by a new generation of feminists born in the late seventies and early eighties.
