Belgrade - Newspaper

François Hosy

Issue seven of the newspapers' serie is about an ex-Yugoslavian city, Belgrade.
I started a book project in 2019 about ex-Yugoslavian monuments called Spomenik. Last year I explored Croatia and Bosnia hunting them down. This year I kept working on this project by exploring Serbia. But because I knew Belgrade and Novi- beograd had some really interesting social-modernist architectures, I decided to explore for few days the Serbian capital and its famous Bloks.

I went to Belgrade in Serbia for 4 days and I wanted to try the Fuji X-pro 2 who's a hybrid rangefinder digital camera. All the shots have been made with manual lenses ( voigtlander Color-Skopar 21mm f4, canon ltm 28mm f2.8, minolta M-Rokkor 40mm f2, jupiter 8 50mm f2, jupiter 9 85mm f2 ).
