The world is just a word

The world is just a word is a photographic and video Poject, realized as a diary of sorts over the period of two months residency  in the city of New York. The footage deals with topics such as personal and public space, documenting and creating subjects / portraits, the absurdity or importance of intimate storytelling as well as the lines between real and imagined through the lens of a camera and the person holding it.

Each year every member of the FUTURES European Photography Platform nominates a set of artists and projects to become part of the FUTURES network.

Organ Vida’s FUTURES selection for 2024 is based on a group of photographers and visual artists working in the broader regional context of former Yugoslavia. Their artistic practices cover a variety of visual approaches which document, but also speculate about, everyday life and the different possibilities of intimate storytelling. For Eva Bevec, everyday is captured in the homely setting full of absurdity and curiosity. David Bakarić Mihaljević documents his personal, everyday life narrated as a generational perspective on growing up in the imaginary space where digital and fictional worlds collide. In Lucija Rosc’s practice, everyday family life is fictionalised, further questioning the role of memory through the playful staging of reality. Petra Slobodnjak is a participant-observer of the communal living experience which translates the spontaneity of shared everyday life situations. And Pavle Banović offers a diary format of everyday life spent in New York, where their camera gaze intertwines with other protagonists they encounter along the way.
