Ex-Yugoslavia - EXY 02 Neighbours & Aliens


Passing encounters in the stairway, strange noises seeping through the walls…with so many different lives crammed together in so little space, there’s plenty of food for speculation about who really lives next door. Why’s that boy spitting from the balcony? How can I best avoid my pesky neighbors? The interplay between anxiety and curiosity begs an intriguing question: Are they really neighbors, or aliens?
