The Heart of the Country Narcisa Vukojević, Lana Cavar

Project description

Srce zemlje („The Heart of The Country“) is a memorial book dedicated to the suffering of Croats in Central Bosnia during the Croat-Bosniak conflict in the last war. After thirty years of systematic concealment of their tragic fate, the poet Gloria Lujanović speaks about the horrors of war in form of a hybrid lyrical-journalistic text and restores dignity to her deceased and surviving compatriots. The book is introverted, reminiscent of a prayer book. There are four formal means of expression used in the design of the book: expressive typography, photographic essay, photographic collages and black on black print.

The work is not in competition for the award
