Boogie

Boogie at Higher Pictures. "...Boogie (Vladimir Milivojevich) was born in Belgrade, Serbia, and moved to the United States in 1998. Self-taught and an outsider, Boogie finds inspiration and energy in the grit and hustle of the street. Boogie doesn't feel superficial shock, and he is not searching for philosophical truths beyond a crack-whore twitching with delight from the inhale of a glass stem. Focusing on his subjects' humanity, without judgment or concern, distance or privilege, Boogie combines an intuitive wit with a matter-of-fact approach. The photographs’ attraction is the haunting empathy one feels when seeing the images. Their appeal is their combination of insensitivity and intense intimacy.
