A posztháborús pillanat „hosszú expozíciója”
The “long exposure” of the post-war moment

Analysis of the Bosnian war from the perspective of space theory and photography theory

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the representation of the post-war state and the visual and film language aspect of the problem of trauma through the examination of In The Shadow of War (2014). The study argues that the temporality of this documentary is analogous to the time perception of its characters; although the Yugoslav Wars have ended, the war is not necessarily over for the ones who are currently living there, they are in the “post-war present”, in the infinite and constant moment of war. The paper discusses this stationary and still moment through the concept of hesitation, heterotopy and the frame as a phototheoretical problem.
