„I believe that architecture is a living language. You can read it. By reading architecture you can understand the value systems of the people who build it. The case study of the Prishtina House is a good example.“1
Der vierfarbige Siebdruck ist eine Skizze zur architektonischen Fallstudie Prishtina House, die wiederum auf der Fotografie eines realen Hauses beruht. Potrć untersucht darin die Art von individualistischer Verteidigungsarchitektur, die im Kosovo nach den politischen Veränderungen in den 1990er Jahren entstand. „After the collapse of modernism, the citizens of Prishtina began building their houses in a wide range of styles, each expressing the taste of the owner. Prishtina House is an example of personal orientalism. Personal styles are the expression of a fragmented society. In Prishtina, the citizens have become the smallest state.“2
