Description
Depicts images of Bosnian soldiers pouring water filled helmets over their heads, pictures derived from the Yugoslavian newspaper 'Novosti' between 1997 and 1999, overlaid with stencils of the artist's Serbian grandmother's doilies. Her work comments on the powerful role played by the print media in communicating the events that contributed to the public's perception of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, while also exploring the social and cultural consequences of the conflict.
