8372 is an ongoing commemorative performance that was performed by Benjamin Zajc at the UL AGRFT between 30 March and 1 April 2022. In his performance, the author was – with the presence of the by-standing audience – questioning the limits of both his and collective responsibility to the Srebrenica massacre. Based on the family trauma that occurred before him, the author designed a space of atonement and memory, which originates from hundreds of stories of survivors and is thus
self-actualizing in them. Because the performance is symbolically unrepeatable, 8372/ii represents its cogent continuation, which is being conceived on the crossing between the installation and the reconstruction of the original.
