Afterwards, 2006

Afterwards is a series of photographs taken on the hills over Dubrovnik, where, during the Homeland War, there were direct conflicts between Croatian and Yugoslavian army
(on the route Srđ-Strinčijera-Bosanka-Žarkovica).

Fifteen years after the first conflicts, after the area has been declared clear of mines, I decided to make a series of photographs walking down paths connecting the demarcation line.
I wanted to know what I will find on places which were, in my mind, present as crime scenes since the beginning of the war. Is it possible to recognise or suppose such a place? And was the unease which I felt walking those paths produced by my idea on what took place -perhaps exactly here-
or is it possible to feel the past and the story of a place?
