The title sounds warm and almost casual; a phrase we recognize from tourist reviews and automated politeness.
In a time marked by threat, division, and war, that same phrase takes on a bitter undertone.
In 'Great place, we loved it, thanks a lot,' Veronika Pot examines how language and meaning shift. This series of photographs and dioramas plays with the tension between superficiality and seriousness.
The texts in the works function as traces or testimonies, fragments of voices throughout the history of war, violence, and uprooting. They are re-embodied, hollowed out, or infused with new meaning.
Thus, a poetic space emerges where empathy and irony coexist. A place where something as simple as 'thanks a lot' suddenly carries weight.
