The serbian artist, dressed as a pioneer, shows a bottle labeled 'Elixir of Transition.' Antea Arizanoviĉ's 'Elixir of Transition' is half local rakiya and half 'Ginco Bilobil,' a medicinal plant extract of Chinese provenance.
"The drink Elixir of Transition is a medicine for people in times of transition to understand political, social and cultural differences and make it a big new thing. A drink from a bottle helps you get better. This is a way for people to integrate in to Europe at the same level with less differences. A drink helps if You drink it in drops but it is very dangerous to drink a whole bottle. So it has two faces." >from *45th October Art Salon/Continental Breakfast* Belgrade, September 11 - October 31, 2004
