According to
the exhibition program:
"Micronations are countries (often without
territories) conceived by artists, eccentrics, political malcontents,
or ego centrics. These micro-nations merge the imaginary, the artistic
and the real in
their embrace of a parallel world, motivated by artistic and conceptual
concerns, a dislike of paying taxes, an immoderate love of royal
titles, or even
the simple desire to create a new civilization."
