Anachronicles 1995-2020 is a 25-year survey of the work of Serbian photo-grapher Siniša Vlajković, taking the viewer on an idiosyncratic journey of discovery and self-discovery, moving forward through space and backwards through time.
The imagery that Siniša Vlajković has been documenting for years serves as a reminder that we are the inheritors of a deadly disease: nostalgia. His work portrays a fragmenting of various cityscapes, which always contain an object from the past or the idea of the old and decaying dystopia – images of worlds that we will forget in the future. It is no mystery why the Anachronicles are searching throughout the values of our culture, sometimes even oppressing us with a constant reminder of a difficult history or high societal expectation.
From the essay The Reminiscence of an Image by independent curator Lara Pan

Fashion and Passion is the name of the photo exhibition which presents works from the students of the Department of Digital Art, Faculty of Media and Communications from Belgrade. As students participating in a fashion photography course and due to the specific epidemic circumstances, they were forced to make limited use of study facilities, therefore forcing them to adapt, improvise and find new ways to be creative. The presented works, in addition to genre-oriented fashion photography, thematically complement self-portraits and portraits in free form. The face and body in metaphorical and symbolic movements are a reflection of the peculiarities of the moment and time in which one lives, and, at the same time, they are a reflection of fashion attitudes and relationships.

The authors of the photographs are:
Ana Stanojević, Andrea Ašanin, Angelina Kačunković, Balša Leković, Bojana Božičić, Isidora Dimitrijević, Jasna Mijušković, Julija Radosavljević, Luka Rajković, Marija Đorđević, Mina Davidovac, Olga Tomić, Sofija Ivanović, Teodora Arsić and Viktorija Đorđević.

A few years ago, Feđa Kiselički started channelling his creative efforts into the making of a series of mouldscapes or images of landscape-like scenery depicting the spread of mould over neglected food items in his refrigerator. According to the author, this photographic interest in the living world inside his fridge has emerged as a form of critique of reckless food-related habits which characterise (a large part of) the contemporary world. Enchanted by shapes, colours and light/shade effects of minute, almost invisible products of mould-made modelling, Feđa has photographed a micro world of this wide-spread food-related human carelesseness using a macro lense. Thus taken pictures were then substantially enlarged, as exhibited here. Feđa’s BioArt(istic) method renders human inattention simultaneously monumental in proportions and comprised of a tightly knit, unstoppable life of frolicking mycelia belonging to tiny fungi. In so doing, the author has made it rather difficult for us to ignore or leave untackled the problem of alimentary abuse. Feđa’s artistic expression has earned him a distinct place among other mould-inspired artists, such as German art photographer Klaus Pichner, whose series of still life with rotten food scraps is a criticising reminder of the fact that almost one billion people across the planet are exposed to starvation, or Elin Thomas (particularly admired by the author of this text), who crochets and sews veristic mould patterns.

Feđa works as a photographer at the City Museum of Novi Sad. He has thus far exhibited his oeuvre in 11 solo exhibitions.

On the occasion of 40 years of New Wave, Radio Belgrade 202, in collaboration with Jugoton publishing house, are organising an exibition titled Those Were the Waves of the NEW WAVE. This movement, that pushed a total art concept, expanded our pop culture boundaries and left a deep mark on our society. In retrospect, New Wave can be regarded as a phenomenon. The release of the Paket aranžman album in the former Yugoslavia can be considered as the beginning of the New Wave movement, exactly forty years ago. The exibition will show the creation process of this significant release, with artefacts and a series of previously unpublished photographs which followed the main participants of New Wave in the ex-YU territories.

The exhibition will run until 6th June 2021

Serbia – Beautiful and Blind is a visual diary without beginning or end, about a piece of land in the Balkans and the people who live there. This documentary project explores everyday life, privileges and consequences of living in an undefined system of values. It talks about a country in transition, stuck between a turbulent past and an uncertain future, unable to distinguish between a dream and reality. In the end, this is a story about society and an individual, and their struggle to survive on the surface of a restless ocean.

Aleksandar Slavković is a 27 year old photojournalist and documentary photographer based in Serbia.
After graduation from the College of Hotel Management and a few hospitality jobs, he started to gain interest in documentary photography and visual storytelling as the best way to explore the world.
After three years as a freelance photographer, he started working for the media company Ringier Axel Springer.
In 2019 he received a scholarship from VII Academy in Sarajevo to attend the 9 months-long interdisciplinary Seminar for Narrative and Documentary Practice, together with 14 photographers from the wider Balkans region.
His work has been published in several Serbian magazines, such as NIN and Vreme and a selection of online publications.

Greek island.
A warm June day. The four of us are alone on the beach.
I have the sea in my hair, the sun on my book, the wind between my toes, the quarry under my soles.
This day is a moment in eternity.
No photo. It is important that we are here and now.
Life is Beautiful!
We’re going back to the city tomorrow.
Ana

Passers-by everywhere. Each in its own scratched reality.
Below is the street. There is water under the street. Roots sprout from the asphalt.
The abyss scares me.
Above is a black-red sky.
Gray people live in number 36.
I am a child of the city.

Grebo Gray is a British visual artist now living and working in Belgrade, Serbia. Grebo graduated from Portsmouth Polytechnic in 1990 with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art Painting and followed that by going back to university in Brighton to obtain a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (Art & Design) and teaching art in a school for a few years.
Relocating to Belgrade enabled Grebo to focus on his own artwork once more and in recent years photographic images have become an important part of his work, though he is reluctant to call himself a photographer. He uses the camera as a tool to create a visual sketchbook, capturing small details from the everyday objects that surround us but are largely ignored. These images have caught the eye of a number of musicians who have used some of the imagery on various music releases.

The exhibition will run until 19tn May, 2021

Cornered is a photography performance, executed in Belgrade during the longest 84 hour curfew that lasted from 17/4/2020, 5 pm to 21/4/2020, 5 am. The artist has positioned himself in a painted corner, shooting a single self-portrait every hour on the hour, during the entire period of the 84 hour lockdown. The artist was leaving the studio after every shot and kept returning on an hourly basis.
Subject of this act are time, space and abolition of free will and personal choice. The corner represents the inability to freely move while the mind is being paralyzed, thus reducing one’s mental space. The artist is explicitly leaving everything else every hour to take the self-portrait, by this he is executing the order and by cramming himself into a corner as if being punished, thus becoming obedient.
Using time in extremely limited conditions, through monotonous repetition, Miloš is transforming social obedience and suffering into a tool to create a political element in order to raise more philosophical questions. Are force and humiliation justified for the purposes of control? Are isolation and solitary universal circumstances of human beings, among others? With this fundamental exsistencial investigation, Miloš goes through an experiment that becomes universal, consequently placing each individual in the same position.

The final result is 85 photographs and a video of length 1:37:08 and ratio 4:3.

Klaus Pichler, 2015–2017
New age esotericism is only one of several ‘alternative’ belief systems which claim to have discovered their own (spiritual, political or pseudo-scientific) model of truth. Esotericism theories – no matter how speculative or irrational they may be – are slowly but surely making their way into the centre of mainstream society. They are not only a game played with the hopes of gullible or desperate people; they are also profitable business models that lie somewhere between marketing and promises of salvation.
Klaus Pichler wanted to know more: For a period of two years, Klaus Pichler immersed himself into the scene by pretending to be an esotericist fanatic. He joined online forums, attended esotericism fairs and gatherings, familiarised himself with relevant theories, ordered products and made use of services. This enabled him to gain an inside view of the irrational world of esotericism, filled with remote healing, aura sprays and unicorn essences. In the process, he witnessed a mixture of credulity, quackery and betrayal.
The result of Klaus Pichler’s approach is the series This Will Change Your Life Forever which consists of pictures of products, re-staging of images found on online forums and visualisations of esotericism theories.

This exhibition has been organised through the essential support of Austrijiski kulturni forum Beograd, that supports artist mobility, by which Austrian artist Klaus Pichler is able to participate in Belgrade Photo Month Festival.

Is Mr. X the one who stole my mobile phone?
At least it was him who unexpectedly turned into a ghost:
Through the Dropbox-interface of my phone, I saw every photograph Mr. X took with the camera, saw him, his friends, Eritrean weddings, and a community, more detailed than the one I have seen before. And, I discovered a woman on one of his photos whom I photographed two weeks earlier than him.
After I received 256 images and some videos files, I set out searching for Mr. X in Tel Aviv, later also in Eritrea. It was a search that was never one for my stolen mobile phone. In Tel Aviv I found a home from a community of Orthodox Christians from Eritrea who do not see any future either in their home country, nor, for most of them, in Israel. In Eritrea I found the most sincere people ever. The search has long turned metaphorical.
The series combines my photographs with those of Mr. X. With panoptic images and concise details, it revolves around questions which also visually transform a specific inquiry into an odyssey; questions of identity, home and faith, questions about wandering around. I am not only asking Mr. X, but because of Mr. X.
