Željava Airport

In an era marked by escalating global political tensions, the artist uses this project as an exploration of the fragility and devastation brought about by conflict. By repurposing negatives retrieved from a Yugoslav intelligence military airport where they were attempted to be destroyed thirty years ago in a raging war, this project transforms parts of a fractured past into new, constructed image. The reconstructed visual, built from layers of destroyed negatives, invites viewers to

confront destruction and deliberate attempt at erasure of history as a direct result of conflict. The project serves as both a metaphor and a reminder of the destructive force that conflict imposes on history and memory.

Project was created during the 6 month residency "Echo Curve" organized by the Exp Projekat from Novi Sad, Press to Exit collective from Skopje, and the Attack Autonomous Cultural Center from Zagreb and financed by Swiss Hearefact foundation.
