Sniper Alley in Sarajevo and Stari Most in Mostar. In wartime life challenging transfers. Now danger is ‘under control’, but invisibly present. Since every Sarejevo inhabitant lives with invisible war images in his memory. Archived in a traumatized body these images are continuously invisibly present.
The tourist, the outsider on the photo, has seen it all... through media.
He enters a mediated, and therefor bodeyless war-zone; invisibly present. In what kind of ‘zone’ he finds his body?
