Jens Olof Lasthein: Moments in Between [signed]

In the shadow of war

The walls are peppered with bullet holes, while the remains of the blown up mosque act as a wood store. A young lad stops and looks down the street in both directions, comes closer but then turns away. After a few steps he spins round, comes back and says:
- Everyone here knows what happened to the Muslims. They all know about the mass murder, but nobody can bear living with it.

He then walks quickly away and disappears round a corner. A stop in the killing and a media withdrawal doesn't mean the Balkan war is at an end. Moments in between deals with daily life in the shadow of a war. Between shellings, after ethnic cleansing or before a shot is fired.
