Hotel Jugoslavija Nicolas Wagnières, 2017

Erected in Novi Belgrade in 1969, the Hotel Jugoslavija was a mythical place. It was both a symbol and a witness to the different moments that shaped former Yugoslavia: From Tito to Milosevic; from Socialism to Nationalism; from NATOs bombings to corrupted economic liberalism. Today, it is still haunting Belgrade landscape, as a reflection of a Serbian society in search of new milestones. With this journey through the times and spaces of the building, the director of Yugoslavian origin by his mother but born and raised in Switzerland explores both a collective unconscious and a part of his own identity.
