"'You and Me' follows the story of a Bosnian-born refugee who lived in Dusseldorf in the 1990s before moving to the US.

The photobook 'You and Me' sets up links between Bosnia, Germany, and the US, while also providing a contextual frame for the artists and their relationship to the past.
“We didn’t just want to tell a historical story; instead we set out to shift the perspective between the present and the future and generate connections between the three countries using visual material relating to the military, politics, music, and film.” (Katja STUKE/Oliver SIEBER)

'You and Me' includes more than 200 images organized in twenty-two chapters reflecting the different aspects of the series, as well as five other chapters including research material, background information, some short stories, and a text by Aleksandar HERNON.

'You and Me' won the LUMA Foundation’s Dummy Book Award at the 2016 Les Rencontres de la Photographie Festival in Arles.
The project came into being with support from the MoCP Chicago, the Goethe-Institut in Chicago, the Goethe-Institut Sarajevo, Les Rencontres de la Photographie and the LUMA Foundation in Arles.
