Aleksandra Stratimriovic: Kind Spirits


The parking garages are usually dull objects that grab no attention. But the ParkiRaj garage on Trdinova street with its round windows is quite interesting, and not just architecturally.


What is actually going on behind the windows of this parking garage, built under otherwise lively apartment building?! The residents' favorite past time seems to be leaning on windows and watching the passersby; or melancholically staring in front of them, smoking and thinking about life. Or hanging the laundry, dropping paper airplanes, watering flowers, kissing... Some windows have pulled curtains, jalousies, some have lights constantly turned on, and some apartments are empty. Why should we be observing only the neighbors every day? Let's stalk the dwellers of ParkiRaj and inform our friends about the happenings in as yet unknown apartment building.
