The works presented in the exhibition „Kadriranje stvarnosti“ as part of the ‘Vizualizator’ Photography Festival provide an overview of the artist’s work over the past decade. Despite marked thematic and geographic diversity, the work remains consistent with his own poetic vision and documentary approach. In this sense, the exhibition offers a direct insight into the customs and religious rituals of different peoples and ethnoreligious communities, moments from everyday life, as well as social themes, spanning from the Balkans, through the Middle East, to countries of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Through depictions of ceremonies, traditional martial arts, pilgrimage sites, significant toponyms, and details from ordinary people’s lives, the exhibition aims to bring audiences closer to cultures from geographically diverse regions, revealing hidden connections among them as well as the universality of human emotions.
