To mark her nomination in this year’s edition of the Young Belgian Art Prize – alongside other Word alumni Max Pinckers and Hannelore Van Dijck – we asked Brussels-based artist Hana Miletic – whose contribution to the twice-yearly prize was a series of daily poetry readings involving herself as well as an continuously changing cast of mostly amateur performers – to capture her daily going-ons armed with one of our famed throwaway cameras.
