THE BOSNIAN IDENTITY (Bosnia, 2009-2011)
The Bosnian capital Sarajevo is a city of contrasts. It is scarred by conflict, but is also the backdrop for modernistic new buildings and skyscrapers. The rush of its daily traffic would seem to belie the still fresh memories of the dark days in which people hardly dared to go out on the street for fear of snipers and bombs. In this city in motion, which at the same time has something unchanging and everlasting about it, individuals seek an identity: they, like their city itself, are engaged in assuming a new identity.
