Hello, I am an German artist/photographer living in the Netherlands (Rotterdam).(website below the mail) I am planning to set up a photography related project in Croatia. Now I started researching, but discovered that there is not much information to find on the internet since I don't speak the Croatian language. I was wondering whether you might be able to give me some hints for research sources or even some addresses where i could apply for fundings or scholarships.Maybe it's not the right adress to post such a request but I have to start somewhere. Any tips and hints are welcome!
During my last visit at the Dalmatian coast I was wondering why there are so many empty hotels along the coast. Most of them have a really special architecture and seem to be built in the same era. I also noticed that in many hotels the furniture is still present (in a more or less intact condition). Often the exterior is damaged ( through time related decay or vandalism, or even the war(?)) As well i found it remarkable that the hotels are not already bought up by investors because the geographical position is outstanding.
Is this a public known and recognized issue? Are Croatian people talking about those buildings? What is the history of the buildings,when are they built and for whom, why are they left, are there plans for the hotels, are they owned by private persons,would this issue being photographed be interesting for the Croatian?...,etc...etc.
At this moment I try to find out whether this project is relevant to anybody and if this phenomenon 'hotels' is existing as such, or if I'm just naive. Are there photographers/artists/ writers etc. who dealt with that issue in the past? Or is it even done too many times? I'm just collecting information.
As I said before any tips or hints are welcome! If it's just a comment whether this project contains any relevance- it already helps me a lot!
