Medieval Monasteries of Skadar Lake

Festival Summer at the Gallery Square 2021

After the amazing retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade, Goranka Matić presents to the visitors of the Summer at the Gallery Square her yet unreleased photographs of Skadar Lake, the area governed by the medieval rulers of Duklja and Zeta, and of their church endowments. In 2000, Goranka visited this ​​picturesque scenery on the rugged lake shore (Godinje, Kosmač, Moračnik) and transferred her impressions onto photos that tell the story of historical figures: Jovan Vladimir, the ruler of Duklja, Jelena Lazarević Balšić Kosača, a noblewoman from Zeta and Vukašin Mrnjavčević, a Serbian nobleman.
