Dear friends,
our Magardon Studio team is out with the new project. Irmy and I would like to welcome you to PrimaBel. Our latest project is a poetry and art book, covering the topic of connecting cultures. There are many approaches to this, from historical and geographic, to political or ethnological. But there is one missing, this subtle connection, which is just in the air, like an energy flow which silently connects people.
Here, we have picked an obvious connection between Serbia (and Ex-Yugoslavia) with Italy. From my experience, there is unspoken instant understanding between us. Italians always feel welcome in Serbia, it just clicks. And it is the other way around. Just two recent events, Konstrakta acceptance in Turin, or Novak Joker statement, that he considers Rome as his second home-city, equal to Belgrade. And I’ve heard many such statements on both sides. When we’ve noticed this, & considering the fact we live exactly on related places, we decided to turn this into a book. And here we are presenting it. 🙂
PrimaBel consists of 30 poems, originally written in English and translated to German. Each poem is accompanied with 3 visuals, two artistic photographs and one photo-based artwork. This interplay of approaches, styles and expressions is a strong reflection of our message. About the need to understand each other better, and experience the true connection in spite of differences, or sometimes even, because of them. <3
