I've tried everything to get out, to save myself, nothing worked. The only thing left is to make this videotape that I will give to my son, he to his, and so on, until a time machine is invented and someone watching this will come and get me out of this.“ VREMEPLOV / TIME MACHINE is an artistic respond to a video message sent out by a group of young Sarajevans during the war in 1993. With a lot of black humor they imagine their escape from their besieged hometown with a time machine. On 11 th June 2018 exactly 25 years after the video was sent out Thieme activates the time machine again with the help of a translator. Nihad Kreševljakovic, one of the young Sarajevans videotaping the message in 1993, recites the appeal from the past to Sarajevo 2018. The call “Get me out of this” addresses our present (again).
