In her first italian solo exhibition Renata Poljak (Split, 1974) presents her last video.

A poetic reflection, at the same time politic, about what we believe, about the symbols that represent us and our relationship with the faith in something or someone. . Symbols of devotion, of memory and representation.

From the video Memories (Tito, tata) -1999, through drawings and photographs, between autobiography and documentary, Renata Poljak tells us about Croatia, ex-Yugoslavia, about the difficulty of change and the condition of membership.

The exhibition takes its title from the photographic diptych I Need You to Believe in Something (2008). Made in 2001, the photographs represent two children playing the violin during a concert in the school of Albanian village Fier. The setting and the atmosphere are the same lived by Renata Poljak in Yugoslavia in the early '80s, during the period of strong faith in socialism and Tito, in the years which the Tito’s portrait stayed everywhere. Now in 2001, behind the children, stands a new symbol of the desire, the stars of European Union.
