an abandoned
winter.
Built for the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, the Mt. Igman and Bjelašnica venues hosted the world for two weeks: ski jumps, the bobsled and luge track, the athletes' village, the hotel.
Eight years later the Bosnian War arrived. The same slopes became a strategic front overlooking Sarajevo. The bobsled track turned into a sniper position, the lodges into command posts. Through 1,425 days of siege these buildings stayed on the line — shelled, occupied, worn down.
Thirty years on, no one uses them; they are still there. Concrete, graffiti, weeds — and the light that still arrives.
