The Apartment is a photo series made in the apartment in the inner city center of Belgrade, through the period of two years, with one long-term roommate, five temporary roommates, and a lot of friends. It explores the characters of the apartment in the glimpse of light.
After three years of living in a student dormitory, in a very small room with a roommate and the sound of ravens arguing about something important, I moved together with my skate friend Danilo to the rented apartment on the top floor in the inner city center of Belgrade. It was the first time in my decade long studying that I could see the clouds through my windowpane. The apartment had its own sunrise and sunset, as at the time there weren’t any other buildings blocking the view. We were sitting in the morning on the east side of the apartment and in the evening on the west side, so we had a whole sunny day. At the time I was studying cinematography and was learning about artificial lighting. On the contrary, I started filming documentaries with the only light I had, natural light. I fell in love with it and started thinking about it consistently. How does it feel when the light changes through the day, what happens when it reflects off painted walls, how does the intensity of light fall through space… How does light transform our perspective of space and people? It is still a question for me.
