"Under the Bridge", a view on Belgrade or the 
discovery of an inner city. In December 2004 a 
group of people met in Belgrade to encounter 
together the city. Four days of walks and talks 
brought up a variety of new perspectives for 
both, guests and hosts. The strange inside of the 
own city and the usual inside of the foreign 
shows this documentation about an unconventional 
making of contact with Belgrade, which ends with 
a surprising encounter under the bridge.

The city is a noisy stage on which sentences may 
be lost before they have reached us. At such an 
open-ended point, an action can develop in a 
completely different way to what had originally 
been conceived.

Editing this book, we tried to maintain this 
openness and, instead of presenting particular 
activities, fragments of text and material had 
been excerpted, resulting in a sort of a 
meandering conversation.

Comment by Tihomir Stojanovic:

This book is just one of a whole range of 
projects that started "under the bridge" in 
Belgrade. People from ten different countries, 
together with their hosts from Belgrade, wandered 
and got to know the city. Pursuing their 
individual inclinations and interests, they 
explored their own and other people's notions of 
the city, of life and of themselves. In their own 
different ways, they familiarized themselves with 
Belgrade, a city that is, to some, home, to 
others, an item in the news.
The result is a collection of photos, drawings 
and texts on situations and places from the four 
days in December. The emerging picture is not so 
much an explanation or a final analysis but an 
expression of how we feel about the city. It 
depicts Belgrade as a social space where it is 
possible to express one-self and to act. The 
authors write about their perceptions of that 
space, the changes it undergoes, and they 
consider their own part in what is unfolding.
Meeting something unfamiliar is always an 
encounter with oneself, as well as the 
stereotypes we generate. Such clichés served as 
stepping-stones for the participants ' 
undertakings: the tour to the Tito Mausoleum, the 
wrong city map, the banana, the restaurant, the 
title of the project itself, "Under the Bridge 
",etc.
A stereotype can be eradicated the minute we get 
to know the thing that it refers to. We 
experienced this under the bridge-motor way, in 
an invisible space in the city centre where the 
Roma and the refugees had built their dilapidated 
huts...
