Miodrag Manojlović, Ordinary

Contemporary art scene (especially video art) in Bosnia & Herzegovina is very interesting because it presents and deals with some issues, problems and relations between the past – in terms of politics, ideology and history – and nowadays, the present.
Bosnian video art is represented by three different varieties:

• firstly, there are works that refer to the recent war and posttraumatic elements in society,
• next, there are works that refer to some universal problems and ideas of media and art, and finally,
• there are works that refer to questions of personal and social identity.

This selection (compilation) of video art is a part of namaTRE.ba 3 video project which is a kind of “other” independent video art scene inside Bosnia & Herzegovina which represents (un)institutional art.
