THE BRIDGES

Bridges which are supposed to connect people where in reality either borders or dangerous sniper zones. Foreign correspondents' cameras were waiting around the bridges, while they were hiding behind corners or inside UN transporters and waiting for the "live" shot of death which would bring them money or awards. The first victim fell on the Vrbanja bridge on April 6, 1992 hit by a sniper bullet. The Brotherhood and Unity bridge separated two sides of the city and it was the place where war prisoners were exchanged. Under the bridge near the City Hall people washed their laundry at the risk of getting killed and fished from bridges or fetched water. The sculpture of the Miljacka river in 1993 was a special attraction. To those who were running across the Post Office bridge it seemed, if they glanced at the Rider, that some passer-by was being blown into the air.
