In “Split Perspectives“, I am taking fragments from two local events both held in the city of Split, Croatia, in Spring. These events – a traditional religious procession and a Gay Pride march – depict two faces of the same place. They also reflect how a traditional community struggles with the increasing diversity of contemporary society.
 
Gay activists, who are preparing for the Pride march, remember the riots of the 2011 Split Pride when the first march was disrupted by large violent groups. They know how hard it is to “come out of the closet”, and equally hard to stay in it. Especially in Mediterranean towns where the openness and vivid street life go hand in hand with social taboos.
  
The reminiscences of the past violent riots are depicted as video stills. By using a visual hyperlink (QR code), the video still image becomes unfrozen in the hands of the viewer.
