To live in Sarajevo is to live on different planes. This collision of the past and present lends the city a hyperreal texture, as if you are walking through a postcard come to life. To visit Sarajevo is to witness both our modern civilization’s greatest sorrows and greatest triumphs.
The bonds between Sarajevans are stronger than family, in some cases. You trust them with your life, your soul. Another thing that is strange about Sarajevo is that life was reduced to single moments with great clarity. Sharing a cup of tea, a beer or a scrap of food dressed up to look delicious, was monumental.
It’s true that here people discover what you call “the Sarajevan spirit”. There is something rather special, something attractive here. This is a place where people can live well.
Sarajevo is an amazing and beautiful city where incredible people live. It's an ancient city where Jews, Muslims and Christians have been living very well together for centuries. It’s an incredible place where everyone wants to go once in their life.
This city has given me so much. It was and still is very important in my life. The title of Honorary Citizen of Sarajevo is the greatest honor I could ever receive.
All my dilemmas about how my photos of Sarajevo should look disappeared when I arrived there. Things were happening too fast there. I could only respond to them.
A city that was once a symbol of war and destruction has become a place where diversity no longer represents a threat but a sign of richness and opportunity. The Jerusalem of Europe represents a crossroads of cultures, nations and religions, a status which requires the building of new bridges, while also maintaining and restoring older ones.
