The „Time Capsule“ is a children’s game in which kids make their own choice of items which they put in a waterproof container, bury it underground or put it away, and then, after many years, open in order to understand the world as it was a long time ago. Photographs of interiors of the Federal Executive Council building provide not only an insight into aesthetic point of view in the middle 19th century in the socialist Yugoslavia and into what was considered to have been representative in the field of monumental or applied art, but also try to evoke a spirit of the time in which there was trust in the future. The exhibition consists of 16 large format photographs, size: 135x90cm. The exhibition is accompanied by a photo monograph SIV – The Palace of Federal Executive Council with a text written by Mileta Prodanovic.
