– What is Bosnia & Herzegovina?
About
Is Bosnia safe? Aren’t there landmines everywhere? Is the country developed?
These are just some of the questions people still ask of Bosnia & Herzegovina, as if the country were still in the midst of an active conflict. It’s also one of the reasons why this book has come into existence.
While Bosnia & Herzegovina is gaining a reputation as an unexplored gem of Europe, it’s still tied to mental associations of war. 26 years after the Bosnian War ended in 1995, echoes of the disastrous conflict still haunt the country’s land— especially its international image.
Through photography, writing and poetry, New Metonyms aims to create a poetic survey of Bosnia & Herzegovina by showing contemporary landmarks, monuments, emblems and cultural signifiers that have no association to its wars.
