Title: It feels good to see you again

Subtitle: Visual stories

Blurb:

Adelisa Selimbašić aims to create a world in which the sense of inadequacy does not exist, allowing for an unconventional perception of the body by playing with scenes from everyday life. With the use of the simplicity of the body, Adelisa transmutes the idea of femininity, focusing her research on human complexities. 

The photographic format chosen by Adelisa recalls social media platforms, giving a sense of familiarity and false intimacy. The faces appear vague, representing subjective identities. The sitters maintain attitudes and are transformed into generational archetypes. The bodies begin to flow into each other, alluding to metaphors. 

Currently, Adelisa's research is focused on the need, attraction, and tension of physical touch. The essence of the works is veiled by themes of body positivity and sisterhood.
