Born in Croatia (then Yugoslavia), I’ve lived and worked in South London since 1994. An ongoing inspiration for my art has been exploration of relationship between ideology and the body, the public and the private. In my, often participatory practice I aim to evoke a sense of fractured and displaced identity and provoke the viewing of the body as a cultural and socio-political construct. I keep returning to the visual heritage and seminal historical moments of my youth such as the fall of the Berlin Wall and the disintegration of communism.
The past, is to me, an inexhaustible mine from which to excavate a multitude of narratives, meanings and truths. The historical body, like a Derridaean phantom, compels me to engage with it – embody it, visualize it, perform it. Responding to the redundant visual heritage of socialist / communist Europe, to archives, both public and private , constitutes an essential part of my interdisciplinary practice. Personal narratives interweaving with a political context continue to inspire me to examine notions of nostalgia, memory and iconoclasm in relation to the human body and subjective identity.

Since 2007, I’ve been leading a collaborative project Performance Klub Fiskulturnik, presenting my work at many festivals, events and residencies across the UK & Europe, including European Capital of Culture – Rijeka 2020 (2020), Uniqlo Tate Late November at Tate Modern (2017), City of Women Festival, Ljubljana (2013), National Theatre Watch This Space Festival, London (2012), Whitstable Biennale (2012), Museum of Yugoslav History, Belgrade (2011), Late at Tate Britain (2010) and Create 09 – Adventures in Movement (2009).
