My utopia?

How does your fictional land looks like?
How does your ideal life looks like?
YOUR utopia.

I got more then 80 different replies.


the first part - visual.

Angels have a right to live an earthy life, have everyday troubles and love each other.



Meet Angelina and Napalys. They are two angels, who just met each other. They fell in love and now they live together in this little shop, where you can find out how their life goes. And, of course, you can always buy some Angelina's jewelry or some other sweet things from their life.

This origami bird was made totally by an accident. I just put my chewing gum in, and folded it. Appearently I can make origami, even without thinking about it. Or maybe, it's that creative sphere of Uzupis?...

Jazz in Uzupis

´the band has a right to have no name´











Mijn eerste indruk over organisatie.
Het is een soort kosmos. Daar zijn veel verschillende eilandjes, waar iedereen heeft eigen ideeën, maar niemand communiceert er over. Blijkt, dat alles altijd de laatste dag op een miraculeuze manier opgelost wordt. Ik ben benieuwd.

Pirmas ispudis/eerste indruk

The gallery with a locked doors.
If you want to come in you have to ring the bell. You have to be really interested in the works they have (Het is niet de bedoeling dat je even langs komt). The first answer to the question 'why, do they lock the door', was safety, afterwards they told me that it's all about intimacy.

Artists are moving out, rich people moving in. A lot of galleries are closing.


I made a list of new constitution sentences, which are based on the information I've got from people. I met those people at different places in Uzupis, during the walk with the minister of foreign affairs of Uzupis.


'Galleries have the right to have more gallery neighbours'


‘Don’t pray to a golden calf’


‘Don’t betray Užupis’


‘Uzupian dog is better then any other dog – he loves you more then life. A person has a right to feel patriotic about Uzupis."


'People have the right to have indoor skate park'


'A person has the right to get vegetarian food'


'A person has a right to be neat'


'A person has the right to get orders or work under discipline'


'A person has the right to study what he really likes'




My conclussion, my new sentences for the constitution:


'A person has the right to live without the fear'


'A person has the right to be honest'


'A person has the right not to be scared of his own thoughts'


'A person has the right to live without thinking about the profit, to be motivated by own satisfaction'


'A person has the right to be idealistic'
