The burden of inheritance is also the inheritance of burdens, by Nikolina Majdak

Burdened with a load of woven baskets, the artist walks in circles around the Dolac market (Zagreb), going up and down the stairs, while balancing the installation on her head. Baskets are empty. The plot has no end, because it goes in a circle. This walk is dedicated to burden women, who in the recent past carried heavy loads of 5, 10 or 15 and more kilograms on their heads every day, often to and from the market. How much did all the burdensome women who preceded us bequeath us and what are our burdens?
