BPP: Identity: Who you are? And who you really are?
Bibi Rakocevic: My
purpouse .. well .. I am a walker .. and an observer probably now, and I want
my Photography to be useful to other human beings, as I am a human being. I
want to show to others who are less capable to see the Other Side of our Life
on Earth .. so short .. and still I am trying to embelish this World .. at
least with my Photography .. wich I try to be simple and emotional like me ..
capturing the essence of the Human Soul in all my Portraits.. comparing micro
with macro … I am a loner walking in the street… maybe Your Town will be the
next for me to explore… <3

BPP: How is life for the people in your country today? What do you wish to happen to them and to the people of this planet at large?
Bibi Rakocevic : Life for the People in my Country is so bad that I don’t know if we can find some solutions for all those poors in Serbia … To all People will happen this so called Globalisation .. but we all felt such a terrible transition that it seems that this transition will never end and that this Civilisation will end up with two classes .. the rich and the poor.. I am very sad about the future, but i hope that Young People will be more conscious about their life and Earth than we were in past centuries. … sad situation globally …

BPP: If you had the chance
to be a child again, will you choose to do the same life you do?
Bibi Rakocevic: Well,
I am still a child .. but I would probably
do something else if I had to
redo my life <: this question makes me smile cause it is a kinda childish
one to me. Now, I
find out that a lot of issues from the past need to be reviewed and
requestionning …
I
am always trying something new in my
life.. I cant help it .. I am too curious …. And it works perfectly as each day
is different .. Life is a such an adventure if your Life is free and full …

BPP: Which exactly was the
moment you understood what you want to do in your life? How did you feel at this very moment?
Bibi Rakocevic: I
think that I understood the real meaning of life when I was in Vietnam, and I
was living almost on the street with these wonderful Vietnamese People .. I am constantly learning from other people
around me and then sharing all to other and that is for me now the circle of
life.. in good honest sharing and in artistic creations…….. and for one thing I
learn .. never let Your Soul be taken by some bad influence or bad ideas …
wrong is wrong!

Since
I lived in Hanoi, Vietnam, I have NOW a new, almost budistic, view on life. I
cherish LIFE of all! I respect the Life of all …… I love. When you get out of your self.ish
life.ness, you start to live the life of
all humans and to help and suddenly it seems that the day is too short for all
it is happening in your Day.

I
am Live.ing my Day as fully as I can and I am never bored.
Boredom makes Art, so I am never lazy and don’t have any fears . . I am trying
not to have any kind of limitations to my self and in my life.
