In her photographic pilgrimage, Dragana Jurisic brings Rebcca West’s 1941 masterpiece into the present day, for an encounter with the medium of photography - through her rolliflex camera as she follows West’s footsteps through Yugoslavia, her former homeland, from which she was displaced during the 1990s war. Their photo-documentary highlights this unique and original road-trip where two women from different eras [Jurisic and Anglo-Irish writer Rebecca West], intersect in an intellectual, emotional, and physical journey through the Balkans.
