Caption: my goal was to build another Bosnia in my consciousness. a big mosaic made of landscapes, faces, songs, stories, animals, past, future, architecture, myths, books, religions, recipes. a place that was touched by a bloody war but that’s not its only feature.

Caption: if you call it turkish coffee they’ll correct you. it is similar, but not the same. from what i understood, the main difference lies in the process, but i really cannot say where. anyway, coffee powder is cooked in a copper pot called džezva, with water. the thick and bitter blend is served in a iron tray with a full džezva (a small one holds about three cups), cups, a plate with sugar cubes and glasses of water. i’ve been told that you cannot buy a coffee set with just one cup, because coffee has to be shared.
