Panta Rhei — An independent print project about time, change, and the life of a city after war. The zine brings together photography and short interviews with residents of Sarajevo, conceived as an attempt to capture the fragile, shifting state of place and memory.
Young people prefer not to hear about the war — they want to move forward. Yet the city’s walls and the faces of the older generation still carry traces of the past, along with an unease about the present.
Sarajevo has interested me for quite some time. In music, references would often surface in support of the children of Sarajevo: Susan Sontag staged a play in the city during the siege in the 1990s; Brian Eno and others contributed to recordings, organized concerts, and raised humanitarian aid. These fragments formed an image that extended beyond the city itself — one that spoke less about victims and war, and more about solidarity and empathy.
