The photo exhibition “Applied Nostalgia: Belgrade – Madrid” was opened at the Institut Cervantes in Belgrade
The exhibition consists of 40 photographs by two photographers – one from Serbia and the other from Spain which best illustrates everything that brings Belgrade and Madrid closer together.
Zoran Ilić, a photographer from Serbia, stayed in Madrid for seven days and photographed places and people that reminded him of Belgrade.
– I felt very nice and safe in Madrid. There are many similarities between the Serbian and Spanish people, and you can see it very well in the photos – we have a similar spirit, and we are pleasant and hospitable – emphasized Ilić.
At the same time, a photographer from Spain, Virgilio Hernando Vañó, visited Belgrade and photographed the city and its inhabitants, who reminded him of Madrid.
– The people in Serbia and Belgrade are extremely friendly. I didn’t manage to understand a single word in Belgrade, but I can still say – Belgrade, I love you – he said to Vanjo.
The photographs taken by Virgilio and Zoran make up the Applied Nostalgia exhibition, which will be open until September 3.
The Applied Nostalgia Belgrade – Madrid exhibition is organized by the Ministry for European Integration, in cooperation with the Embassy of the Kingdom of Spain and the Cervantes Institute.
