“9 / 11”: Exposition de photographies d’Andrej Djerkovic
Ces recherches photographiques établissent un parallèle entre les évènements tragiques de New York le 11 septembre 2001, et la période du siège de Sarajevo entre 1992 et 1995. L’exposition est constituée de trente trois photographies noir et blanc de onze paires de frères jumeaux, citoyens de Sarajevo, qui ont survécu au siège. Deux paires de jumeaux n'ont pas survécu ensemble, ce qui explique le titre de l'exposition. " 9 / 11 ", qui fait aussi référence à la date de l'attaque des tours jumelles à New York. Les photographies ont été prises dans différents lieux de Sarajevo significatifs de la vie d'Andrej Derkovic, avant, pendant et après la guerre.
“9 / 11” (2002): Exhibition of photographies by Andrej Djerkovic
This photographic study has the aim to settle the parallel between tragic events in N.Y. and period of the siege of Sarajevo 1992-1995. This photo series is consisting from triptych portraits eleven pairs of twins, citizens of Sarajevo, who lived under the siege and survived its hell. Two pairs of twins, didn’t survived the siege complete, and from that is coming the title of this photo study, ´9/11´, which is also initiating the date of the attack on Twin Towers in New York. All persons are from different confessional, sex and age background.
All photographed persons have masks on the faces in three reasons. First is in hommage to the people of New York, because they wear the same on the days after the attack, second is because, today some twins are not looking the same, and with this masks, we are finding the similarities in the eyes, and the last reason as it is its purpose, for protection, which means to stay clean after all the horror that we all passed.
