Drawings on old geographical maps evoke works from the ‘Souvenirs’ and ‘Envelopes’ series, the video consisting of animated chalk drawing on the board formally follows ‘The Black Ouija Bord’, and the artist\\’s book, consisting of postcards that repeat the motif of maps and combined with text, is ,in itself, a variation of the theme of previously exhibited author\\’s books. Tadic chooses the back side of postcards for the beginning of the story. By appropriating existing syntagms and adding new ones, he creates a collage of associations, motifs and situations about the archetypal theme of the Island, the (non-)place of literature, philosophy and science. This fragmentary narrative continues on the space-time level through the exhibition – in the video-installation and on the level of playing with the sign in cartographic interventions. Semiotic-symbolic play with a dose of enigmatic atmosphere and search for the unreachable truth, as the constant backbone of Tadić’s work, is present also in ‘I Speak True Things’, in a complex, ambiguous and open web of relations of the sign, story and space. <\/p>\n
