Between Anxiety and Hope (Između strepnje i nade) begins in 2020 with the website www.betweenanxietyandhope.me, which is conceived and designed to be a platform for non-linear writing. The website displays two overlapping text fields, while the references and other links open on the same page. This structure is motivated by the idea that the plurality of voices in the writing and editing process could be visible in the final form.

Issue 0 presents an essay of sorts, which is written in the form of a diary where four authors become one “I”. The story is set in the collective environment of artist residencies, during the first months of the pandemic. From another timeline, this four-voiced “I” comments on the very process of writing and editing the essay.

To emphasize the overarching theme of the essay ─ household maintenance through artistic practices, the publication betweenanxietyandhope.me was promoted with homemade apple jam.

Izdanje 0 predstavlja svojevrsni esej, pisan u formi dnevnika gdje četiri autorke_a postaju jedno Ja. Radnja je smještena u kolektivnom okruženju umjetničkih rezidencija, tokom prvih mjeseci pandemije. Iz druge vremenske linije, ovo četvoroglasno Ja komentariše i sam proces pisanja i uređivanja eseja.

Kako bi naglasili i približili sveobuhvatnu tema eseja ─ održavanje domaćinstva kroz umjetničke prakse, publikacija betweenanxietyandhope.me je promovisana uz domaći džem od jabuka.
