The Filing of Belgrade
“The Filing of Belgrade” comes in the form of a cycle of photographs representing objects which have had the unique role during the creation of architectural and town-planning sequences of Serbia’s capital. Such objects are unique and enriched with per-sonal and important histories, and still they have been abandoned for a series of reasons, left to decay and vanishing.
A social criticism, which has served as the starting point for photographing these cul-tural artifacts during the process of creational search has obtained an utterly new shape. Being surrounded by the civilization waste, with something which the society itself has created only to neglect at some point in time later on, it has led me to a certain sense of tranquility. The scenes I have experienced being in such places clearly testify about all the technological progress that has been burdening a man and hard times and all the accom-panying complexities are growing stronger and stronger year in, year out. Surrounded by numerous pieces of information and deafening sounds of the world around me, all of a sudden I have stepped into silence. I have found myself within the space where time is standing still, where dead industrial products come to life again while playing with the absolute and the in�nite.
The apocalyptic scenes I have been passing through are in fact a picture of a man’s conscience followed by its responsibility and duties. They can be viewed as a warning, a punishment or a hope of a potential change.

In search of lost time
Moments from the past, places, friends or lovers at whom we left our mark, pieces of our being, make the great part of what shapes our impressions. And the reality in fact is the manifestation of these impressions, of what we can �nd in our souls, that over the time we accept as the truth.
Maybe repetition of these memories and succession of past and present are what makes the balance between the longing for eternity and losing oneself in idleness. By keeping these moments we try to postpone our own transiency through the sense of one-ness with others, and by doing this we make this wholeness immortal.
