Archiving Naš Tito (Our Tito), a sign made of large, white-painted stones to the east of the border dividing hillside upon Italy and Slovenia, former Yugoslavia.

Since entering the European Union on May 1 2004, the sign has been respelled several times, removed in part, and is restored, annually, by a group of locals. 

The work considers the sign and the site in the context of state, public and private property as technology of governance of movement, work and land.
