They’ve asked us to introduce ourselves.
(tekst about Zvezda and Odeon)

We're two nice people, always looking for a place to be. And, like you are there, you are simply there, incessantly, day to day, it is more and more unexpected. Because a crea­ture of our kind can very easily disappear into some drawer or catalogue. And you can't call that life. But luckily, we've been lucky. We started last year, each on our own wall, and noticed each other quite by chance. First we only gave each other casual and innocent glance across town. At that point, we didn't know that we would one day be together. But others noticed us as well, and so this spring we got a job together with the Ljubljana town calendar in Zvezda, where Odeon was supposed to be built a long time ago. (The park is called is called Zvezda - Star, and the architect Jože Plečnik planned to build the Odeon building there.) That is what finally brought us together. It was, of course, clear to us both right away that we are meant for each other. But shy as we are, it wasn't until spring, when the calen­dar was really full and there was hardly any space left for us, that we truly became close. So as not to say in each other's arms. As the year is slowly running out and our job with the town calendar is drawing to a close, we are thinking more and more about the future, if we want to stay together, we soon have to find something new. And since we enjoy social life - it was such fun working for a few days as the official tasters of pies that Petra's mom made, we decided to open a nightclub. We are also having a great time in the former tea room of the once very famous Mr. Tito. Even now, with our calendar job, we do many other things as well. As you probably know, creatures like us can be in many places at once. And we use this advantage to travel as much as we can. Not by car, ship, train or plane like you do, but on handbags, T-shirts, backpacks, aprons and postcards. We inhabit all possible spaces, only to be together, and hang on every possible person, only to keep moving.

We also have a serious intention of visiting many European cities. And not by the before mentioned means of transport, in a much more orga­nized fashion: we will get our own wall in these cities, or maybe even a room. We have been to Triest this way and have been invited to lots of places, to Budapest, Bochum and Moscow. And because we haven't been there yet, we can hardly wait to see what it is like there - in lots of places, where lots of things happen to you, you learn lots of things and meet lots of people.

Hope you will be among them!
