Hi,
In 2009 I went to Sarajevo with my then boyfriend Emeric to make a book about the city. It’s a little light blue book made together with a French design agency. I think you might have seen it. They asked me where I wanted to go and I made the slightly ballsy move of suggesting Sarajevo. A place I had no other connection with than having seen in the news as a war zone when I grew up. I don’t think I would have made such a brave choice today had I been commissioned to photograph a place. But I am happy I did it. It’s a book that’s very close to my heart and it’s also a place I met my friend Ana Kras for the first time. We had been talking online before, and I invited her to come from Belgrade to visit and she took a bus, and spent some days with us. Here are some images that didn’t make it into the book. I hope you enjoy them. Love, Lina
