Planet Krvavica

This book is called Planet Krvavica because it gathers together people, explorers, and things that have entered the same orbit, around the same landing site of a unique spatial object, and because it really feels like amidst all our current planetary challenges as if we really have landed on another kind of world, left stranded in strange terrain filled with dilapidating structures of various origins, facing an uncertain future.

The book looks into a three-year collective engagement with the contested modernist site of the former Children’s Health Resort in Krvavica, Croatia. It is a group exploration of uneven legacies, spatial neglect, and fragile gestures of care intersecting with broader planetary urgencies. Planet Krvavica suggests that alternative futures do not lie elsewhere, but emerge from these local entanglements and the imperfect, often messy, practices of repair.

wit[h]nessing (Tatuli Japoshvili and Giga Tsikarishvili) are among the contributors.
