He actively participates in numerous workshops and group exhibitions, both in Montenegro and abroad.
The artist says the following about her work:
“The Cathedral of the Self is a work of more complex construction, which integrates the media of performance, video, installation and sound. All these elements are in the service of creating an atmosphere that is a projection of mental states. The self refers to our personal identity, to everything that belongs to the space of the conscious and unconscious, and which in turn makes up our being. The cathedral of the self is characterized by the dialectic of outer and inner human space. The meaning of that name is ambiguous: it denotes the body, which is the first space in which the self resides, as well as the space itself in which states are projected (the physical space in which the performance takes place). The body appears in this work as a singularity and as a multitude. The created space is an intimate space in which the performers, in a state of passivity, dream awake. Their “dream”, projected on the wall, shows their state of mind through the movements of their bodies.”
The exhibition will last until October 31st. The curator of the exhibition is art historian Ljiljana Karadžić.
