July 32 (2019/20)

The work explores the fragile connection between memory and place, following a journey to retrace family roots in former Yugoslavia. By confronting the contrast between remembered landscapes and present realities, it reflects on displacement, personal history, and the passage of time. Moving through sites reduced to ruins, forests, or meadows, July 32 exists in the liminal space between memory and oblivion, questioning how places persist in the mind long after they have disappeared. The places where we grew up, and we relate to them as home, exist independently of social constructs such as national borders.
