Italian photographer/street artist Bifido writes to us from what appears to have become his second home – the Mostar Street Art Festival in Bosnia and Herzegovina. “Going to Mostar for me is like changing rooms.” Perhaps these are the rooms of Bluebeard’s castle.
For a street artist, he makes a fabulous opera singer – full of drama, dreams, and disillusionment. He tells us that this piece expresses the profound meanings he has discerned from sitting on the bank of the Neretva. We find promise in seeing the wings with which this new character may take flight yet above the Nertva.
