“For as long as I remember, I have been drawing and making up stories. /.../ I have kept quite a few of my earliest efforts, and in my recent work I see a return to my childhood sketches. Isn’t Teddy and his friend a bit like something a child would draw? /.../ I believe my stories have been greatly influenced by my own childhood, and by the times in which I were a child. But I also have the ambition to bring our own age, the ever-present Now in which we find ourselves, into my work.”
- Stina Wirsén

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
