Čuvari (Keepers)

(with Kristina Ivić)

The pavement reconstructions in the Belgrade University of the Arts area at 'Kosančičev venac' had been going on for months, and heaps of cobblestone and sand just kept being moved from one side of the rubble-filled street to the other. Suddenly one afternoon, on March 30, 2017, a little bed of dry (stonewall) plants appeared on the top of the biggest sand heap. They remained there for almost a month, somebody must have been caring for them... After they suddenly disappeared one day, another big bright flower took their place almost immediately -- but on the very same day (April 28) that flower disappeared, too. On June 15, the sand heap was eventually gone entirely.

The documentary photos were lovingly taken (in the order of gallery appearance) every couple of days throughout April 2017 -- special thanks to (photo by) Rastko Čirić and Danica Bojić!
