About the Artwork

The term Virdžina appears in Bojana's life at the end of the last century, when she got to know the film of the director Srdjan Karanovic, filmed in 1991 in Yugoslavia. The story describes Stevan, a young heir of a family who is lured by the fact that there are too many female children. Stevan’s own family condemns him to live as a boy, although he was born as a girl. His family is actually followed by the custom of “swearing virgins” to avoid condemnation of society because it has exclusively female offspring. Bojana analyzes the patriarchal situation in the mountainous rural areas of the Balkans: Northern Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro, for which Virdžina’s phenomenology is linked.
