Films – a chronology of dispossession
2014-
Since 2014, I have been photographing particular sites of
Belgrade’s ever-changing urban landscape that show a
condition where conflict, economic speculations and
historical revisionism have disrupted and damaged not only
the physical environment and infrastructure of the city,
but also the social and cultural networks.
This photographic series documents the role of
architecture in politics, war and in the media, by
locating it as “material witness”. It highlights trauma
while at the same time ordinary life around it is
uninterrupted.
These specific sites do not represent only trauma from the
past but also are emphasizing the “trauma in making” that
will fully be experienced in the future.
It seems that this process is unstoppable and its duration
unknown. Thus, my project will go on documenting and
archiving in an attempt to provide visible steps and
processes that are carrying particular kind of future.
