I think I need a new heart

I’ve spoken before about how parts of Belgrade remind me of America. I really don’t know what to make of the above photo - it’s a bit apocalyptic and not really what I thought would be the outcome. Perhaps I imagine America to be the home of apocalypse - exposure to the Terminator films probably caused this.

Apocalypse in Serbia gives me an uneasy feeling about the politics of the Balkans. Not least because now is a time for optimism as much as it is for grievance. Still, there is something very cleansing about overexposed photos of such a setting. I never realised rubbish could look pristine.

Perhaps both America and Serbia are in need of a clean up.
