ANDREJ TISMA
Euro Stars web site is an ironical view of Europe and its history full
of wars, destruction and barbarism which continues to our days. It is
a reaction to the big EU's campaign for united Europe in which many countries
from the region would like to become members of. This is a web site which
shows how most of European countries came to their wealth and today's
status, and why are they still striving for power and globalization. Every
yellow star from the EU's circle symbol is linked to an image which illustrates
my message through documentary scene, from the past and present.
Welcome to Europe!
Euro Stars je web stranica koja predstavlja ironican pogled na Evropu
i njenu istoriju punu ratova, razaranja i divljastva, koje se nastavlja
sve do danas. To je reakcija na danasnju veliku kampanju Evropske zajednice
za ujedinjenu Evropu cije bi clanice mnoge zemlje iz regiona zelele da
postanu. Ova web stranica pokazuje nacin kako je vecina evropskih zemalja
dosla do svoga bogatstva i danasnjeg statusa i zasto se i nadalje zalazu
za moc i globalizaciju. Svaka zuta zvezdica iz kruznog simbola EZ je povezana
sa slikom koja ilustruje moju poruku dokumentarnim scenama iz proslosti
i danasnjice.
Dobro dosli u Evropu!
