Photography is a medium which is easy to understand, and as such, acceptable and available to general public no matter the age or profile. The need for such exhibition exists for a long time, but there was no clear concept until now, i.e. there was no concrete theme that would gather all the authors. We are all aware of the situation in which we live in and the recession which has pinched us, not just this year, but it is our permanent (suffering) condition, and the culture, especially fine arts is in real disgrace.

The theme of the exhibition, a presentation of photographs, is Sarajevo. Although it sounds as a stereothype and unexciting, the organizers think that it is possible (and desirable) to avoid the established practice of presenting the city as “multicultural mixture of everything”, war, ruins, sacral objects, powerty, primitivism and penury in every way.

“We all know that there are moments and places when one can recognize Sarajevo as a modern, live and exciting city.”
