Nikola Rikanović's post shares a link to his "NATO ART 1999-2026" project, an ambient installation of deliberately broken wooden structures symbolizing war's devastation, created in 1998 as a prophetic response to the impending NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.
The accompanying black-and-white image depicts angular, deconstructed wooden sculptures in a gallery, evoking avant-garde influences like El Lissitzky's reliefs and Tatlin's monument, reinterpreted as ruins of failed ideologies amid the 1999 RTS building strike that killed 16 journalists.
Tied to a thread video of violinist Jovan Kolundžija performing Bach's Partita in D Minor among the wreckage, the work blends visual chaos with musical sorrow to explore themes of resilience, spiritual renewal, and the timeless cycle of human conflict.
