Reimagined presentation of films for the gallery space by briging environments and objects from the film into the physical space. The author presented the films RIBS and FIRST BIRTHDAY AFTER THE APOCALYPSE in a tangible format freed from the solitude of the digital film file abandoned on a festival's server.
"[...] Poetry and the poetic weaved into the artistic redefinition of history and the historical have a slightly different resonance in the work of Farah Hasanbegović. A young director working in the field of animation is a novelty on the scene. Apart from the animation, which is almost reduced to peculiarity due to its lack of representation on the stage, the author’s practice presents a thematic framework that is both extremely present and neglected—the framework of the phenomenon of memory. The aforementioned paradox stems from a very simple fact: Hasanbegović deals with the memory of childhood, which is not necessarily related to war."
