At the \u201cGra\u010danica\u201d Cultural Center, an exhibition of photographs by Goran Siva\u010dki, \u201cFrom the Sources of Spirituality,\u201d will open on September 10 at 8 p.m., created during a years-long photographic journey through some of the most significant Serbian monasteries and holy sites.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through photographs of architecture, frescoes, details of monastery complexes, as well as monastic life and moments captured behind monastery walls, Siva\u010dki does not view these holy sites merely as historical and cultural heritage. His photographs also capture the life that continues within them, the atmosphere of the spaces and what visitors often take with them, even though it cannot always be seen or described.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a Photography Assignment to an Exhibition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A large part of the photographic material from which the exhibition was created was taken during a collaboration with Jazak Voda, for whose blog Serbian monasteries were photographed. The photographs, which originally emerged as part of stories about their spiritual, historical and cultural heritage, have now been brought together into an authorial exhibition and presented in large format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was precisely the numerous journeys and time spent in monasteries that also determined the title of the exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNone of these places, and especially the monasteries I visited, were merely a photographic challenge for me. I felt a special tranquility and peace in them. That is also where the title of this exhibition came from \u2013 \u2018From the Sources of Spirituality,\u2019 because I had the feeling that something of the spirituality we all carry within us also springs from these places,\u201d says Goran Siva\u010dki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
