Boško in Admira // Boško and Admira

The starting point of the project is a wartime photo of a dead couple, embraced, on the Vrbanja Bridge. The Muslim Admira Ismić and the Orthodox Boško Brkić tried to escape the beseiged Sarajevo in 1993, but were shot by an unknown sniper mere metres before the border. The author of the photo, the American photographer Mark H. Milstein, and the journalist Kurt Schork named the couple “Romeo and Juliet of Sarajevo” and – despite the protests of both their families – turned the tragic death of two young people from opposing sides into a sensationalist story of a young couple in love, caught in the bloody dissolution of Yugoslavia.
