Exhibition Opening + Artist Talk │ Wind Family with Stefan Đorđević at History Museum of BiH

Friday 05 June 19:30

Wind Family is a photographic essay about the author’s family as they navigate the pain of losing a loved one. After Stefan lost his mother to illness, he moved to the countryside to be with his grandparents and the rest of his mother’s family, searching for closeness, continuity, and a way to remain present within grief.

The exhibition reflects on change, the passage of time, and everyday family relationships through photographs, personal objects, and symbolic elements. It explores the texture of life, and grief as something woven into the world around us.

The photographs and personal belongings, do not speak directly about the loss, but about life itself, about transformation, time passing, daily struggles, and relationships that are nurtured and endure.

One such relationship began in 2020, when the exhibition A Diary About Mom was presented at Kulturni centar Beograda’s Artget Gallery. It told the story of Negrica Neca Đorđević through the photographs of her sons, Stefan and Boško.

Wind Family exhibition is presented on the occasion of the theatrical release of Wind, Talk to Me, the film that brought Stefan Đorđević a series of international recognitions.

Stefan Đorđević (1987, Serbia) was introduced to film through the feature fiction film Tilva Roš, in which he plays one of the two leading roles. The film was nominated for the European Discovery Award by the European Film Academy in 2010. He studied cinematography at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, where he earned both his BA and MA degrees.

As part of his graduation project, he made the short fiction film A Handful of Stones (dir. Stefan Ivančić), which was screened at numerous international festivals and had its international premiere in the ACID programme at the Cannes Film Festival. His short fiction film The Last Image of Father premiered at the Locarno Film Festival and received awards at many international festivals, while his short documentary film Portrait of a Dying Giant was part of the Serbian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale of Architecture.
