4 corners 3 people

In 2000 I realized 4.20 min long video with 29 persons who tell my short poem in 32 languages. A simple solution of coming together! Something small, simple, very interesting. I didn't really know this in that time when I made the video, but now I believe, I gave people a good feeling - they said in theirs native languages my verses:

"4 corners 3 people 3 people filled 4 corners!" (Video)

On May 17th, 2001 this video was shown for the 1st time in the gallery Artestade, FL-Vaduz and later in 2002 in Taman Budaya Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

If you say "Four corners, three people, three people filled four corners!" it makes you feel good! At least it does for me, I just tried it :)

Vlado Franjević

Jette van der Lende

I like your prosject, Vlado. Just wonder why you did not use my norwegian translation. (and why does my photo has "Notes" under the name? (Not important just wonder)

Vlado Franjević

dear Jette, it wasn't possible to use your norwegian translation because we didn't know each other in the time when I made this project :) that means, you (but also nobody else) made the translation of "4 corners 3 people" in norwegian! ok?

Essam Abu Awad

Four Corners, Three people, I think that each of us will think of filling the fourth corner. You have given us a chance to be part of it. Sharing and Engaging.
