Makeshift
Makeshift is a documentary project about Bosnia and Herzegovina, about the recent war and the processes of rewriting history after the truce. The project focuses on documenting sites where crimes were committed against civilians, through the prism of their reintegration as public places. All the work resulted from the author’s research based on UN and ICTY court documents. So far, it has been presented in the form of three solo exhibitions, several group exhibitions, awarded in competitions and published.
Makeshift.vnlab.org was created in the vnLab Interactive Narratives Studio at the Łódź Film School, under the supervision of studio managers Katarzyna Boratyn and Krzysztof Pijarski and in close cooperation with Michał Szota, who took care of the graphic design and programming.
