Untitled (sarajevo library) is a wall installation of six photographs tak-
en by the artist in 1996 in Sarajevo, Bosnia. The images show the
ruins of the municipal library, which was destroyed in 1992.

Between the images of the crumbling architecture are four books, par-
tially burned and hung leaves open. Two are schoolbooks- an book on
the Serbian- Croatian- Bosnian language and a biography of the com-
munist leader Josip Broz- Tito. The other two are novels by the Serb-
ian nationalist writer and politician Vuk Draskovic.

The schoolbooks belong to the time before the breakup of the former
Yugoslavia, when the figure cult of Tito held the country together. The
two novels point to the divisions that emerged in thelate 1980s and
1990s. Draskovic, born in Herzogovina, played a noted role, both as
writer and politician, in the emergence of radical serb nationalism.

The library was destroyed, intentionally by Bosnian Serb forces, who
bombarded it with phosphorous bombs during the early months of the
war. Destroyed in the fire were thousands of unique documents per-
taining to the regions history and culture.
