| A series of photos accompanied with texts, sequel
to the similar project about the apartment block in Skopje workers
suburb Dracevo, where I live. The images depict scenes from the
yard of the same building, a space shared and shaped by and for
the building tenants in accordance to their needs. Documenting the
traces that the tenants (without presenting them directly) leave
in this space in a manner of a crime scene
photography. I try to explore the functioning of one complex urban
social system, like my neighbourhood and also the relationship between
the objects, space and people. The images are accompanied by short
anecdotal texts which intend to reveal the hidden layers that are
not
visible on first sight from the images (especially by someone ho
does not know the specific social context).
