Archiving Naš Tito (Our Tito): a sign made of large, white-painted stones on the Sabotin hill, where the border stones lined up the hillside divide the land upon the territories of Italy and Slovenia, former Yugoslavia.

Since entering the European Union on May 1 2004, the sign has been removed, redone and restored several times by often unknown groups of locals. The work considers the sign and the site in the context of state, social, public and private property.
