  1. |

Just like in the liturgical consecution, photographed places in this lineup have notion of a tabernacles, the places of "prayer and worship" of modern society.

In this series, the selected sites are taking Eucharistic role of the central places of meeting, prayer and worship in the cities that are centres of important social changes in the last century, cities who lived (through) different social movements whose terminology ends with the suffix "ism"... fascism, communism, terrorism, populism and finally, capitalism.

These places, mostly central squares, were (are) used as a tabernacle for different ideologies and social systems that have dominated the modern history. Dual meaning of the word svetohranište (tabernacle on artist’s maternal language), denounces the amalgam between hraniti (to store) something sacred and hraniti se (idolatry) with the existence of a particular person or idea.
