The work \u201cThe Hero\u201d presents an iconographic image of the artist riding a white horse in the countryside while carrying a large white flag. Neither she nor the horse move and a voice-over is heard singing and humming a popular Yugoslavian song dedicated to the conquered hero. The important presence of horses in Montenmedio and the charisma of its proprietor, Antonio Bl\u00e1zquez, reminded her of a paternal figure, a Yugoslavian national hero, who rode a white horse during the war.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u2018The horse, so present in our lands and in important interventions by artists such as Jannis Kounellis in 1969, promoted the idea of carrying out this project as a tribute to the surrendered hero\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n
