However, it would take a further 37,000 years for the first European borders to take shape. Photographer Joakim Kocjancic has a hard time accepting theses borders and has for the last two decades been travelling across the continent searching for an identity that is not limited by these borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKocjancic sees the people that he depicts as a part of himself, of his identity, and feels that we are all a part of each other. His extensive travels have made these cities blend together into one metropolis, dissolving borders and shifting the focus onto the human condition. With his black-and-white images he tries to arrange and create a balance in the fast-paced urban life - and at the same time creates an inner reality in the borderland between dreams and reality. Europea is a homage to people and to the unusual in the everyday. \"Looking back on the years l've spent around Europe, I realise it was about a search for an identity that wasn't restricted by nationality. By reflecting myself in other people, I search for myself, find points of reference, make sense of my values, discover the things I love, and preserve what I don't want to be lost.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joakim Kocjancic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43758155563162,"sku":"11351","price":600.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0350\/5704\/1545\/products\/IMG_5820.jpg?v=1748956901","url":"https:\/\/store.a4arts.org\/en-gb\/products\/europea","provider":"A4 Arts Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
