               I Love Europe, It Does Not Love Me Back

Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, September 1, 1996

After the Berlin Wall had been pulled down and internal conflicts started to escalate, Europe lost its traditional features and was compelled to restart from «zero-point». According to Kulik, Europe needs the image of an enemy in order to achieve real unification: «I love Europe. It means I am ready to propose myself as this symbolic enemy. If all dogs are united by attacking me, they will notice the resemblance my dog collar to the symbol of United Europe.
