The Sarajevo edition is focused on individuals whose profession is related to different services in the city centre. We approached participants at their work and asked them about their special place in the city.
The prints are actually portraits of people at work. Their special place cannot be seen this time. The viewer can only imagine it on the ground of participant’s statement.
