contemporary macedonian poetry

The photographicvideo series was created for the poetry anthology Contemporary Macedonian Poetry, featuring portraits of poets whose voices define the current literary landscape of Macedonia. The photographs were taken to accompany their written work, translating poetic presence into visual form.

The accompanying video portraits extend this photographic approach, capturing each poet through a single, unbroken gaze, filmed as they would be in a still portrait.
