Dear Students




Dear Students

What the devil are you doing here in Salzburg?
Studying clouds, rain, tears.
(How much salt is in one tear?)
You ask: what is this rat doing here?
This rat is digging in the garbage of memory-
In such awful English.
And it gets paid for this.
How much? How much?
5200 euro.
Too much.
Too little.

Dear Students

Are you hungry for fear or for touristic beauty?
Wake up at 6 in the morning
Or better at 5 and walk around the city.
Maybe you will see this touristic nothing.

Dear Students

How is it possible to learn art,
To study art, how is it possible to fly alone
or all together?

I don't know.
And I don't care about this.

Yours sincerely,

Mladen Stilinović



To the students of REFLECTION ON ART AND NO-ART class led by Mladen Stilinović, Summer Academy Salzburg, 2011.

Don Quijote Meets AmsterDance


fOUR SONGS / a dance & voice performance from corpsâme on Vimeo.


cast: ¡don Quijote soy yo!, AmsterDance is Burkhard Körner


Everything is good

Everything is bad

Everything is in the right place

Everything is perception

Everything is no more than itself

Everything is transient

Everything is the same

Everything is new and

Everything is old

We know nothing

Everything is emotion

Made of impulses

Everything is literature

Everything is human

Nothing matters

Everything is important

Everything has a meaning

All is full of love

Everything is everywhere

Faith is everything

Love is everything

Everything is familiar

All is just imagination

Everything is deception

Everything is knowledge

Everything is ridiculous

Or humorous

Everything is right and wrong

Nothing lasts forever

Everything is limited

Nothing is impossible

Everything is different

Everything is lost

Everything is complex

Everything is cyclic

There is an essence of everything

Everything generates balance

Everything has a solution, everything could be fixed

Everything is interesting and concerns us

All of these lines are correct

That's the best and everything is everything.


Dedicated to Burkhard Körner and our creative encounter. The text of course, is not directly related to the video's framework.

Everything Is Human


Everything is human

The Tiger will eat us-

The stones, the clouds and the water are human

The Tiger will eat our ears-

Even the animals are human

The Tiger hesitates-

Maybe you thought it's the opposite

Now it's the moment to escape

The Tiger still hesitates-

Let's hide in a school, no one will notice us

The Tiger lost our trace and in the end it will come back in the wild,

which is human too.


It will stay there for a while, waiting maybe for an opportunity-

If nothing occurs, than he will go also to hide in one school

No one will notice it.

Anyway, it has that camouflage coat of its-

In-between the lines its stripes will perfectly match.

But, without tigers there would be no marks!




No buses, no zebras, no cables or wires, no spines, no maps, no horizon, no red lines,

no lines at all.

In this situation, our last choice is to count all the leaves and look for secret places


Let's walk until exhaustion,

Let's finish now all of our imagination,

-Don't stop!


Let's educate skeletons to be less stubborn in front of the Death.


Uninterrupted production of postcards.


Common places like perfection, freedom, creativity, the best of all, exposure, Orient & Occident, evolution and progress, hobbies, fashion, mystery, look, the new and philosophy,

-which comes from boredom and fatigue.

Volcanoes of words are exploding, revealing us the codes and that Tiger that promised to digest our desires instead of us.


Everything will be in the right place.

The light, the effort, the good and the bad...

Will all stay in their homes.


No label can be replaced.

No tiger can hide, not even through a simple dance.


Rocks of thinking.


Methods, rules, manners, styles, charts and bills, mean nothing more than themselves,

when one leopard eats another

In this cannibalism lies the will of rejecting the Cosmos, tours and scientific and artistic storms.
