Cento modi per morire / A Hundred Ways to Die – Dragana Sapanjoš (HR)

As part of the Fiumanka sailing regatta, the artist, in collaboration with the owners of ships anchored in the port of Rijeka, realises a polyphony of sounds – from the ships’ horns to the sounds of sea engines, various boats, trailers, sailboats and fishing boats. While evoking the now bygone times of prosperity on the one hand, as well as the ships’ murmur of the once busy and fast-paced Rijeka Port, on the other hand, it is a reminder of the sounds of ships’ horns announcing the search for vessels carrying refugees across the Mediterranean. Through these negative associative triggers, the artist transforms it into a symphony through a collective performance, considering the power of the human mind to forget even the greatest tragedy in a split second and turn it into a wonderful event.
