The Pyramid Hills explores the archeological phenomenon of the Bosnian Pyramids and other discoveries in Bosnia-and-Herzegovina. The book will document a series of photographs of artifacts and the social-touristic experience around the different archeological sites I have visited during my stay in the country.

Being aware of my lack of any scientific competence to confirm the existance of the pyramids, I believe the relevance of the subject in a post-war Bosnia-and-Herzegovina which currently lacks any good governance (from within and from outside the country) to transcend the former problems that are still on the surface today.

Therefore as a maker, I use the photographic medium as a manipulative tool to persuade the viewer to believe in this story, by being aware of both the romantic, mythical and rhetoric possibilities of imagery in the construction of a story.

Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids represents the biggest complex of pyramidal structures in the World. It consists of Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun (with its height of over 220 meters is bigger than Cheops Pyramid), Bosnian Pyramid of the Moon (190 meters), Pyramid of Bosnian Dragon (90 meters), Temple of Mother Earth and Pyramid of Love.
Anthropologist Dr.sci. Semir Osmanagic established a hypothesis about the pyramids and underground tunnels existence in April 2005 and started investigation. The Bosnian Valley of the Pyramids has become a most active archaeological site in the world and attracts tens of thousands of tourists every year in Visoko, Bosnia-Herzegovina. (piramidasunca.ba)
