Artists from Bosnia and Herzegovina who belong to the post-war
generation grew up and developed in specific surroundings. Without any basis in that which happened earlier in the local art scene and in the arts in general, they explored different media and their own realities. Although she belongs to that generation, šejla KameriÊ distinguishes herself from it in the way she interprets and reflects those realities. The thought process is essential to her works, while esthetics, although strongly present, are secondary. They are characterized by the calling of attention to that which we don´t ordinarily notice, to the lack of our perception or interest. Reacting to her surroundings, she sets a series of questions into motion, but also leaves room for interpretation. Regardless of which technique or medium Sejla Kameric uses in her site-specific works, her characteristic method is copy-paste, or transferring details from the direct surroundings of one context into another, by which they acquire new meaning.
