FIRST PLACE

Miša Keskenović

Beehive Panels is a two year project inspired by the traditional Slovenian practice of decorating similar panels with pictures - therefore, they have an ethonographical resonance. The images were captured with a pinhole made from a can; salt prints were then made on maple wood and polished with beeswax. Keskenović completed a masters degree in Belgrade, Serbia in wet plate collodion and has been a mentor in various  workshops on different historical processes over the last 5 years in Serbia and Slovenia.
