Vesna Pavlovic

Vesna Pavlovi: Stagecraft features four extensive bodies of the photographer's work, spanning from the early 2000s to today-photographs of the Yugoslav socialist modernist hotel spaces from her internationally recognized series "Hotels"; photographs of the ceremonial space of the Yugoslav Presidential Palace in Belgrade from the series "Collection/Kolekcija" and the recent "Fabrics of Socialism" and "Sites of Memory" series exploring the archives of the Museum of Yugoslav History. The book includes critical essays that contextualize and expound on Pavlovi's unique treatment of the photographic medium, in which a photographic moment is expanded to include the conditions of image making, production, documentation, and representation.
