This years fieldtrip of the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague was to Novi Sad in Serbia. Over the course of one week photography students embarked on a journey in and around this Serbian city. All students made a person project which resulted in a publication, a website and a exhibition at several locations in Novi Sad.
Joining teachers were: Donald Weber, Ari Versluis, Lotte Sprengers, Rob Hornstra and me.
