  Description

  My name is Bojan, a freelance artist, working in co-responding activities: journalistic and art projects based on photography
  

  Since 2016, I have been working on a project in the Mediterranean Sea, with the last five years mostly spent in Greece and over the winter period in Croatia's Adriatic, and occasionally in other locations
  

  I'm a Mediterranean native, a recognised professional photographer,
  artist and journalist, sailing the Med since childhood. My experience with
  The methodology for a large-scale project comes from
  participation in many journalistic, artistic, editing, and marketing projects and
  teams, as well as from my own projects.
  I started portraying the civilisations of the world’s large rivers (Nile, Ganges,
  Sepik in Papua New Guinea) and was published in prominent magazines and
  books. In 2010, I started a series of portraying works in the Mediterranean
  area, creating foundations for the present project. 
  

  The interviews and portraits in the project are co-created by the
  inhabitants who make self-portraits* and tell their own story. This makes the
  project a group project with hundreds of participants who will also be listed as
  authors. Through 200 interviews with inhabitants on many of the 189 islands
  documented in photographs, video, and stories in a book, exhibitions and AV
  lectures, creating connections and social networks.
  

  The project explores the identity and charisma of the Mediterranean islands, presenting their potential, patterns of survival, creativity, and social tolerance.
  
  (*I use special installation for self-portraits, a technique that I also use now in the project. 
  My studio was developed during the last 12 years with extraordinary results.)

  What else ...

  Staying on the boat is a unique experience, and when traveling exclusivity on wind is not boring at all! Normally people do want to engage, in sailing and all that goes along . Normally people do have interest to live and travel, sail ..This is an add value which also requires a different approach of off time since we are all the time together
