Mira Pavlovic like to make pictures about crumbling buildings. She is a photographer from Croatia, and is drawn to these deserted places to capture the silence, to give a view to what has passed and will never be again.
She gives the spaces the same amount of dignity that they had in their prime. Her use of light gives the rooms a sense of fairytale like atmosphere, almost like time doesn't run the same here. The pictures make one think of the danger of wandering into an abandoned building, with no real way to test structural integrity.
This definitely is a kitschy subject to make pics of but I enjoy her work. The atmosphere she makes feels very intriguing, like even though is place is falling apart, this is the place you want to be. These pictures are almost a reminder of what happens when things are taken for granted, or maybe what always comes in the end.
