In Minihorror, Barbi Marković tells the stories of Mini and Miki and their adventures in everyday urban life. Mini and Miki are not from here, but they try to fit in and do everything right. Despite this – or perhaps because of it – they are pursued by dangers and monsters, disasters and difficulties. It’s about the big and small nightmares of the middle class, about the horror of the perfect family breakfast, about bullying at work and failed vacations, about the abyss that opens up in everyday life and refuses to close. In Minihorror, Barbi Marković creates a monument of perfidy and compassion for the anxious workers of our society, which makes us feel both caught out and
understood.
