The section of the Aftermath exhibition shown at Photon Gallery presents works containing profound social and political implications. These artists refer to past and present, to modern local mythologies and collective histories in relation to the current socio-political and economic situation in the region. The works explore number of changes that directly concern the inhabitants of former Yugoslav states such as switch in political discourse and economic policy, stratification, modifying local histories and since past 20 years ever-present nationalism and patriotism of once multi-cultural environment.

Aftermath is the first regional research and curatorial platform established in order to identify and articulate principal tendencies within the field of contemporary photography in relation to its immediate surrounding. With the participation of partner organisations from throughout the former Yugoslavia, the exhibition displays the results of extensive investigation on the far-reaching effects of large-scale social shifts reflected in the physical and mental environment. Due to its temporal span, Aftermath provides an interesting confrontation of artistic reflections and expressions of various generations that either experienced the period before the disintegration of the common state or originate from a completely new social context.
