Biografia
"Nuna" is a photo of my project "Nema Problema" about the rape, rape as a weapon of war took on strong ethnic connotations when carried out in a systematic way during the conflict between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia. Prison camps were set up where an estimated 20 thousand Bosnian women were tortured and sexually abused. Bakira Hasecic, along with the "Zena Zrtva Rata” Association (Women Victims of War) in Sarajevo, aims to provide psychological and material support for these rape and war victims and to take the perpetrators of these crimes to the International Court of Justice in The Hague. However, one of the biggest problems the Association has had to face is the lack of adequate protection for the victims.
I started my artistic career after my graduation in art history at the University of Bologna in 2002; while I was a student I have been taking classes at the art accademy of Barcelona during my Erasmus exchange program, and after, as well , at the art accademy in Bologna. After the university, I have been the winner for a scolarship at the European Institute of Design in Torino, where I studied photography, after my graduation, for 3 years from 2003 to 2006. In 2004 I began the project “Muri di Piombo” , “Leads Walls”, a project about the years of terrorism in Italy. Specifically my project is about the places where the Red Brigades and all the others leftist terrorists groups have been doing theirs attacks, the places where terrorists and victims have been killed, my work was witnessing the same place at the same day and time when the attack happened. The Project “Lead Walls “ have receved the PesaresiContrasto Award in the 2006 and have been exposed at the Accademy of art in Turin, during wich I receved a scolarship to study in London. Lead Walls Have been exposed at the photography festival in Rome, and was selected by several International curators to represent Italy to the European Festival "Mutation 1". The collective exhibition was exibited at “La Maison de La Photographie” in Paris, to the Gropius Bau in Berlin, at the Musa in Wien, in Luxemburg, Bratislava, than in Moscow. In the year 2007 I have been working and travelling for one year in Bosnia Herzegovina documenting the tragic memories of the women violated during the balcan war from 1992 to 1995. The project organized as mutimedia done by portraits and interviews, was selected at the "Rencontres pour la photographie 2007" in Arles and will be exibited at january 2008 in the gallery Hossein Farmani in New York.
