Full Description

United Force 2003-04 is hard hitting, intense photo series by renowned photographer Boogie, which documents life inside the Ultras of Belgrade football team FK Rad over twenty years ago. The limited edition A5 zine contains 31 black & white photographs across 44 pages.

Please note that this photo series contains explicit images that contain far right-ideology which may be considered offensive.

“Serbian photographer Boogie is rightfully recognised as a pioneer in documenting people and groups on the fringes of society.

Access into the closed world of football ultras, particularly those with a far-right ideology is almost impossible but once again Boogie has led where others follow and the photographs published here in this zine are absolutely essential.

Football club FK Rad of Belgrade are little known outside Serbia compared to their giant neighbours Red Star and Partizan. Yet they also contain committed and radical fans including the youths of United Force, their notorious ultras firm.

This short series, following United Force at matches and in private settings gives us a fascinating and intimate insight into this largely unseen world. They may well be uncomfortable viewing for many but they are an authentic reality.” British Social Documentary Photographer John Bolloten.

It is essential to stress that this series is not an endorsement of the far-right ideologies that were present among some members of United Force at the time. Lower Block condemns all forms of racism and discrimination, and this work serves to document, not glorify. It sheds light on the complex intersections of football culture, identity, and extremism in Serbia during a pivotal time.
