About the Exhibition
In 'Medjimurski pilovi', Damir Klaic depicts Medjimurje roadside religious shrines in a photographic examiniation. In this exhibition, they appear as intimate messages from the folk: from crucifix to crucifix, from praying post to praying post, from Jesus to Mary, from powerful to local saints - all far from chapels and churches but with the same aim to serve as altars of faith.

The artist offers a photo-safari of the Medjimurje terrain, its villages and fields, away from major roads and highways. These photographs point to a local heritage that describes both people and religion.
