The massive ethnic cleansing during the war in Bosnia between 1991-95, led to the deaths of many thousands of people. Ten years after the conflict, the artist traveled to the area to document places where some of the main atrocities against humanity took place, and where many thousands people are still missing.
"I was walking among hundreds of skeletons excavated from the mass graves, where identification was going on. Remains of a tiny skeleton held my attention and I filmed it while it was assembled. It only took about 4 minutes, but it felt like an eternity."
