Photo Backdrops, 2022–ongoing

Saša Tatić’s ongoing installation Photo Backdrops (2022–) consists of wall paintings designed to be entered into and used as photographic settings. Each painted inscription leaves an empty space, inviting visitors to physically enter the work and complete its message. The texts, which range from quotes and common sayings to the artist’s own observations, address the history of the diaspora, turning the backdrop into both an image surface and a site of embodied participation.

Lost in Translation, 2023–2025

In her series of prints Lost in Translation (2023–2025), Tatić explores language, migration, and intimacy. The works collect idioms and colloquialisms in their original languages that have led to misunderstandings across generations and geographies. The series reflects on long-distance relationships and the subtle ways in which care, insecurity, judgment, and assumption circulate through everyday speech.

Saša Tatić

makes visible the social roles she inhabits – as a daughter, heiress, and member of the diaspora – in order to explore concepts of home, belonging, and identity. Using text as a tool to convey meaning within her multimedia practice, Tatić opens up diverse pathways for engaging with identity. She is one of the co-founders of the artistic association Fully Funded Residencies e.V., advocating for equality and inclusion and a member of the feminist and left-oriented organisation CRVENA in Sarajevo. She lives and works in Berlin and visits Bosnia whenever she can.   

#49 Talk Together

This issue explores language – its forms, possibilities, and limits. We look at how we communicate in the digital space, how the language of artificial intelligence changes our notions of creativity, and how visual images can replace words. You will discover why language is never neutral and how it shapes identity, creates inequalities, and opens paths to liberation. The issue features a reflection by bell hooks, the artistic practice of Eszter Magyar, projects documenting the Roma community in Brno, and visual essays by Claudia Larcher and Tabor Robak. The magazine presents language as a tool of communication, power, and resistance and invites you to reflect on what it truly means to talk to one another today.

Language shapes our world, influences our thoughts, and reflects our societies. In the context of the Balkans, specifically the former Yugoslavia, a region marked by shared histories and divergent narratives, language can both include and exclude. Through the concept of “false friends”, words that appear similar but differ in meaning, this exhibition explores how identity, politics, and cultural memory echo in the language we use, and vice versa. Simply put, we often speak of what we believe are the same notions, not realising we understand them differently. These deceptively familiar terms thus become symbols of regional complexities, miscommunication, and broader cultural and historical tensions.
