Explores the nature of war from the outside and the inside
In TWO ROOMS, Ismar Čirkinagić and Per Bak Jensen explore the nature of war and the traces it leaves on civilizations and cultures, as a phenomenon that can be both felt from within and viewed from without.
Ismar Čirkinagić, who fled the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s, has a thorough knowledge of war and his works take spring from actual events and stories. Per Bak Jensen looks from the outside into the dark horrors of war and tries to find visual allegories of a civilization's abyss that for him and for most people is completely incomprehensible.
