Brsalje

1996 - 2011

 

Brsalje is a series of analog black and white photographs that Ana Opalić began in 1996... This nearly archetypal display of a landscape is necessarily imbued with the most diverse implications, and reducing happenings to only those introduced by natural phenomena generates a distinct contemplative charge within the photographs. The absence of humans, in fact, of any hints of human activity, paired with the bareness, the universality of ambiance, sharpens one's perception of the invisible motivators behind events...
