SUMMARY:Irina Rozovsky Book Launch &amp\\; Conversation with Gregory Harr
 is
DESCRIPTION:Join Lostintheletters on Saturday\\, September 12\\, for an e
 xciting conversation between Athens-based photographer Irina Rozovsky and
  curator Gregory Harris to celebrate the publication of Rozovsky&#8217\\;
 s Mountain Black Heart (MACK\\, 2026).\\nAbout Irina Rozovsky&#8217\\;s M
 ountain Black Heart\\nOne morning in the summer of 2014\\, Irina Rozovsky
  woke up in a Serbian mountain village to the sound of hundreds of trumpe
 ts as a brass band festival set up in the hills. At once pleading and tra
 gic\\, joyful and frenetic\\, the music set the tone for what would becom
 e Rozovsky’s journey through the Balkan region\\, including Montenegro\
 \, Bosnia and Herzegovina\\, Macedonia\\, Croatia\\, Greece\\, Romania\\,
  Bulgaria\\, and Albania. Profoundly drawn to the land and its people\\, 
 Rozovsky created the intimate and equivocal photographs that form Mountai
 n Black Heart. Rozovsky’s borderless vision drifts through railways\\, 
 farms\\, open water\\, parking lots\\, fairgrounds\\, and graveyards\\, b
 alancing vitality and life with suggestions of dark history and subtle si
 gns of violence. Interspersed throughout are striking portraits of people
  and animals which emanate vulnerability and resilience. Through its loos
 e\\, expressionistic approach and a compassionate engagement with the hum
 an and natural world\\, Rozovsky’s nomadic project pieces together a pe
 rsonal and kaleidoscopic view of a fragmented place.\\nAbout Irina Rozovs
