Neka geografska područja muče svoje stanovnike uvjetima društvene bezizlaznosti, dubokim usjecima unutar društva te osjećajem kolektivne deprivacije, izolacije i osifikacije. Ako interakcija neprijateljskih aktera u kohabitaciji ne popusti pred postupnom i konstruktivnom razgradnjom postojećih polarizacija, preostaje samo melankolična ili fatalistička introvertiranost uz gubitak nade u postizanje sretnije budućnosti ili pak pribjegavanje kompenzacijskim strategijama na osobnoj razini, disidentifikaciji ili praksama dvostruke izdaje (možda čak i trostruke ili višeslojne) kako bi se minimalizirale posljedice društvene zatvorenosti. Ili se pak anticipiraju spontane eksplozivne reakcije, trenuci kolektivne epifanije ili dolazak neke izvanjske, gotovo mesijanske sile koja će poremetiti taj društveni stagnum. Za izložbu koju smo prije četiri godine postavili u raskoljenom gradu Nikoziji, Katerina Gregos i ja smislili smo naslov Leaps of Faith, što se na ironičan, ali i ponešto autoreferencijalan način odnosilo na sličan polureligiozni optimizam u pogledu izgleda za topljenje političkih i psiholoških granica između dviju strana na podijeljenom Cipru i rezultata donkihotskih i ustrajnih nastojanja otočkih intelektualaca i umjetnika. Ako je ikada bilo ikakvih obrata vjere u pogledu suživota u novijem razdoblju – što je prilično dvojbeno – to nije imalo nikakvog utjecaja na političku sferu. Jedino što nam stoji na raspolaganju su oscilacije između puke nade u novi početak i gorkog realizma zbog postojeće zatvorenosti. Hip Activities (2003.-09.), fotografski ciklus Aydan Murtezaoğlu, umjetnice koja živi i radi u Istambulu, zasniva se na takvom osjećaju optimizma. Ona tu govori o trenucima susreta između aktivističkih masa ljevice i ljudi koji naizgled ne pripadaju sociologiji prosvjednika, nego se javljaju Some geographies torment their inhabitants with conditions of social impasses, deepening rifts within the society, a sense of collective deprivation, isolation and ossification. If the interaction between the antagonistic actors in cohabitation does not yield to a gradual and constructive undoing of the existing polarisations, one is left either with a melancholic or fatalist introversion by loss of the hope to attain a more fortunate future or one tries to pursue compensatory strategies, at the personal level, of disidentification or practices of double betrayal (perhaps even triple, or more layered) in order to minimize the effects of social closures. Or otherwise one anticipates spontaneously exploding reactions, moments of collective epiphany or an external, almost messianic force to arrive for queering the pitch of the social stale. For the exhibition we curated together in the divided city of Nicosia four years ago, Katerina Gregos and myself came up with the title Leaps of Faith which in an ironic but also somewhat self-regarding way appealed to a similarly semi-religious optimism about the prospect of a melting down of political and psychological borders between the two sides of the partition in Cyprus, about the results of the quixotic and enduring efforts of the intellectuals and artists of the island. If there was any leap in the faith for living together in this last period –which is quite doubtful – it had no impact on the political sphere. Oscillation between sheer hope of new beginnings and bitter realism of existing closures is what we have in hand. Hip Activities (2003-09), the photographic series of Istanbul-based artist Aydan Murtezaoğlu employs a similar sense of optimism. It is based on the moments of encounter between activist crowds from the left and people who do not seemingly 137
