24 Jun My Father’s Legs
Sara Perovic
“I fell in love with your father because of his beautiful legs.” Sara Perovic often heard this sentence as a child. When she went through the family photos, she noticed that her father was mainly photographed playing tennis. After all, that’s what he spent most of his time and thoughts on. His obsession with the sport hindered his attention to her as a child, she reflected. And now the story could repeat itself with her daughter’s father, who also has beautiful tennis legs.⠀

‘My Father’s Legs’, a little book of photos of her father’s and partner’s legs in tennis positions, detached from the rest of the body, is not only weirdly beautiful, but also visualises the search for a deeper connection and understanding.⠀
