Fingerprint, 2016
Large format digital composite images
Fingerprint is a series of large digital composite images comprising hundreds of images taken throughout Mostar, BiH. I have attemped to photograph everything from minor vandalism, old hand painted adverts, political endorsements, fascist and nationalistic messages, decorative wall paintings and elaborate murals made during the numerous street art festivals in the city. Keeping the graffiti and symbols intact, I have configured them into new, layered landscapes which show the polarization of emotion and political sentiment within the city. These collective images are, in a sense, a fingerprint of the people, and emblematic of the time in which they were created.
