“Playful” is a triptych of black and white digital photographs taken on 4th May, 2020. in Belgrade, in front of residential buildings in Kraljice Marija Street, during the renovation of the plateau dedicated to the children’s poet Rasa Popov. The photos show children’s play, which takes place in front of our eyes, but also the play of light and darkness that takes place in our hearts, whether we are children or adults.
That being said, we and the children are equally playful – we are more often in our thoughts, fears, doubts, and fears, and the children are more often in their joys, desires, and hopes. In that respect, childhood is evoked here as a source of sincere hope and unconditional love, unfettered/unconstrained by the burden of life experience.
