Photography Exhibition
Roberto Alcaraz
May 14 – 28, 2002

Roberto Alcaraz is a photographer from Alicante, Spain, who traveled around to Yugoslavia with his friend in 2001. He, however, found one different reality from news spread in Spain, which gives homogeneous opinion (referred to CNN release). In his trip, he found an intimate society in new chapter of life, the birth of new nation and the exhausted people of long-winded war.

From them, he learned that love and respect would change their condition, that one little step could bring a big change. They are people who held love and modesty to the face of strange and unfriendly world; their fight is ours too. Roberto’s picture told about streets, houses, walls and daily life fragments. A story from a city, that became arena of witness and horror. The walls, which expressed great birth passing silence in anxieties.

By his photos, he wanted to show a form of eternity of a city and its people by taking the traditional aspects as priority. Roberto talked to us by his pictures about something forgotten by the mass media, and those photos will tell us about their own stories themselves.

This is the media to compare conflicts happened in Balkan and lasting (never ending) ones in Indonesia, such as in Ambon and Aceh.
