| It is very simple: the Fortress has challenged Sibila Petenji with a new silence of the past history, controversial stories, personal experience of the space – the space that has remained after tons of ground had been excavated from the Fortress – which Sibila has filled in with colour and happiness. And Sibila's works are enchanted with black, the colour of the stories about tragic history of the space of everyday events! (The Fortress: the energy charge brings always in an aftermath, a cut – a clear sound, strong and cheerful creative chaos; from cold and heavy to warm and creative fantasy.) To Sibila, the Fortress means an experience of a deep insight, playful euphoria and the unity of assimilation with sound, shape, colour and visual fantasy. Sibila knows: her right to leaveher footprints behind while running through life and history - that is a Godgiven gift. |
