W. Goethe<\/em><\/p>\n<p>One of the more interesting characteristics of language is that communication simultaneously manufactures discommunication. The meaning of words, concepts, signs is always dependent upon the context. A word ever only approximates speaker\u2019s intention, with an ironic turn it can also be diametrically opposite to its dictionary definition. In his quote, Goethe suggests that if we miss the first hole when fastening buttons, we won&#8217;t manage to button up. With this idea, he\u2019s talking more about the method than about buttons; it\u2019s up to us if we get upset by that.<\/p>\n<p>With the exhibition Until the Last Button Dejan Habicht has reached into family archives and pulled out from the basement \u2013 a very elementary metaphor for the subconscious \u2013 the apparently loosely connected relapses of his youth. The exhibition exposes role models and patterns that fundamentally influenced Habicht\u2019s artistic formation and marked out his field of preference and aesthetic parameters. He links these elements into a puzzle that, while not creating a complete picture \u2013 as we\u2019re used to from films with happy endings \u2013 produces a new riddle. In short, the purpose of Habicht\u2019s puzzle is not to comprehend the \u201cbigger picture\u201d but rather \u201cto be puzzled\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p><em>The programme of the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E.
