This collection of images comes from the photographic project Od Zagreba do Karlobaga (From Zagreb to Karlobag), which has offered a pictorial and anecdotal perspective on contemporary Croatia during the summer season since 2021. This selection presents a straightforward observation of summer folklore as well as various social phenomena and behaviors – both visible and invisible – within a transforming region of the former Yugoslavia.
Beyond the geographical and socio-cultural context, this body of work raises questions about our relationship with our bodies: does the body on holiday truly allow itself to let go?
Aren’t vacations the perfect time to set aside societal pressures that shape the way we relate to our own bodies?
