Bosnia and Herzegovina: tailoring and sewing
Digital print, dimension variable, 2011.

Enjoy the freedom of sewing and tailoring of your country!

Now you have the opportunity to make a proper model according to your means, desires and needs, feelings of national identity, ethnicity, religion, political affiliation or guided by some others directions. By combining entities, cantons, provinces, regions and districts / municipalities, you can create the individually ideal Bosnia and Herzegovina. Share the joy of sewing and tailoring with your friends, the Mayor, the Minister, the President of the party, religious leader, government officials or anyone who you consider relevant to making your decisions. Since you can combine different patterns and cut to size, many combinations will satisfy most demanding tailors.
