Ante Perić

a harbor town on the Dalmatian Coast, Croatia

Ante Perić has spent over three decades as the familiar voice guiding travelers through a small harbor town’s bus station on the Dalmatian Coast. He is meticulous and unwavering; a cigarette’s smoke and the salt air accompany his early mornings setting up timetables. In his quiet hours, he sculpts tiny animals from soap to leave as unexpected delights for strangers, his subtle way of stitching moments of surprise into the town's daily life.
