Jasmina Cibic鈥檚 art reveals the structures of 鈥渟oft power鈥 often employed as methods of psychological control by authoritarian regimes, and the way in which national culture can be used for political aims. Her video work Tear Down And Rebuild presents a scripted debate about the idea of demolition, redesign and nation-building set in Belgrade鈥檚 historically-charged former Palace Of The Federation.
