Introduction by Tom Gjelten with images and texts by nine Bosnian photographers Created in the aftermath of war, in ruined darkrooms without electricity or running water, the photographs in this book are not only proof of the destruction and suffering of this once-beautiful country but a salute to its indomitable spirit, offering an authentic view of Bosnia through the eyes of those living inside it. '[These] individual tales, riveting and sometimes droll, contain the essence of the human will to resist. This is a wonderful book' - Roy Gutman

About this title

Synopsis:

The Siege of Sarajevo from the Moving Point of View of those who Experienced it; Created in the aftermath of war, with what little film they had, in ruined darkrooms without electricity or running water, the photographs in this book are not only proof of the destruction and suffering of this once-beautiful country, but a salute to its indomitable spirit, offering an authentic view of Bosnia through the eyes of those living inside it. Cutting through the media's rhetoric, Sarajevo Self-Portrait features the images and words of nine Bosnian photographers, including Kemal Hadzic, Milomir Kovacevic, Danilo Krstanovic, Nermin Muhic, Mladen Pikulic, Nihad Pusija, Damir Sagolj, Sahin Sisic and Dejan Vekic, all of whom continued making pictures throughout the Balkan War, photographing the ruins and documenting the loss of their neighbourhoods, homes, family and friends, and uncovering the hard truths of war.
