Meant to last
September 2016
Belgrade, Serbia
Life is a circle, no energy is ever lost. No thing lasts forever.
Humans are considered the crown of creation. Like no other species, we design space, are creators ourselves. And like no other species, we do not feed into the natural circle of life. Yet we create things that outlast their creators. Meant To Last is a project developed in Belgrade, Serbia, a place whose existence has been interrupted many times. The city has fluctuated between construction, deconstruction, and reconstruction - on forty occasions over two millennia. Meant To Last investigates the virtue of duration in a space torn apart by history.
