Clitche Roma photographs from Belgrade →

In the strict centre of serbian capital, under the biggest Belgrade bridge Gazela there is a huge slum settelment called Cardboard city (ser. Karton siti). Nearly one thousand Roma people, refugees from south Serbia and Kosovo live here in the houses built from cardboard or some other non-building materials, like plywood or nylon bags. They don’t have running water, sewage and electricity....

Me taking a portrait of a kid, in the ex-Roma settlement under Gazela bridge in Belgrade. It was a couple of days before the whole camp was relocated, in an operation prepared for over two years by the local government. I already feel nostalgia for this place, it’s people. It was really a tiny world in itself. Yes, dirty and all, but full of very very interesting people! I also feel guilt...

7 days, 7 rolls of film, 7 really good photos

I’ve just realised these are all real numbers! Exactly one week after I started my “Roma kids” portrait project, I ended up with 7 rolls of film and 7 “best photos”. Not to mention that 7 rolls makes 70 frames! :) Anyway, this has been a tough week! Being there, at Roma settlements under Gazela bridge, almost every day… not an easy thing to do! Physically, mentally,...

D-day for Roma from under the Gazela bridge →

This was really *the* D-day for about 114 roma families who lived at both sides of the river. It’s actually quite sad when you think you actually had a couple of friends over there. Now they’re scattered all over Belgrade and Serbia. Sanja’s photos might give you a clue of what the atmosphere was like.

Roma kids project about to begin…

Last couple of days I was trying to figure out exactly how to start that Roma-kids project I mentioned a while ago. Some conceptual issues are still bugging me, while I try to collect all the equipment I need. Not to mention their settlement under the Gazella bridge will be dislocated (read: buldozed) in next few days! I must react quickly. I have definitely decided to go for slide film, medium...

I totally fell in love with her music, even though I’ve heard just two songs. Adding this to my wish-list, that’s for sure.

The website’s goal is to “change the negative image of Serbia that has been present for many years. […] to increase international travel to Serbia by improving Serbia’s image abroad and by delivering a better...

Serbs face the future—National Geographic

Have you seen recent article of NG about Serbia? It’s called Serbs face the future, and it was photographed by Christopher Anderson, a Magnum and VII photographer.It’s sort of a… crap. The photos themselves would probably be fine, if I wasn’t a Serb living in Serbia. Basically, the message they send is: “Serbia is a dirty, miserable, desparate, depressive, lonely, potentionaly-agressive,...
