notes from the research diary:
In multi-national societies, nationalistic fables tend to co-exist one with another, just like the languages. Their structures tends to resemble the linguistical one, in the sense that they can be as equally complex and altered by daily colloquilal use. Co-habbitation of typographic fragments - Soviet and contemporary Baltic ones was something that caught my eye during the 6 month stay in the region. That co-habbitation, when isolated as a phenomena provied an eerie sense of being displaced from place and time and resembled a presence of certain heterotopic spaces.
