Capturing the post-war landscape left for Bosnian youth:

In July 1995, almost 8,000 Muslim men were killed in an attack by the Serbian army across three days in the town of #Srebrenica, in #Bosnia and #Herzegovina. 20 years since the horrific, religiously motivated genocide, the town remains in a lull. Its new youth loiter on its dark streets, gathering in Srebrenica’s gutted remains.

Photographer Adrien Selbert first came to Srebrenica in 2005 while on a road trip with a friend from France. The decision to travel to Bosnia came from a desire “to see the land and people that we saw on TV when we were children,” he explains. “During the 90s, the #BosnianWar was daily news. These were the first images of violence that I saw as a kid. Srebrenica, due to the huge massacre, became the symbol of this horrible war.

When we finally arrived in Bosnia, the country hit us in the face. It was just 10 years after the war – but in Srebrenica, things looked like the conflict had ended only yesterday.” Selbert filmed his first documentary film in the enclave in 2008, detailing the life of a mother desperately searching for the body of her son, lost in the war. Four years later, he returned in an attempt to concentrate on capturing the town’s youth. He integrated with them, making friends and accompanying them on their nights on the town. “That's when I started to photograph their endless nights,” he explains. “As it turned out, photography was the best medium to express this melancholic atmosphere, the disjointed post-war time.” In his photo series, Selbert explores the post-war world extended long after the conflict has ended, where the horrors live on in the dilapidated buildings and eerie landscapes, as well as in the minds of its survivors and inhabitants. Like any other teens, they hang out, smoke and drink. The photographs capture a generation weighed down by its haunted past, but desperate to live their teenage years to the full. – words @annagranola #dazedinstastory ? #adrienselbert
