Maja Milovanovic

For almost 10 years, I have been implementing the "Myth of the Constructor" project, which deals with the culture of memory. From the perception of personal (found and discarded) artefacts of the unknown citizen Luka Popović and his wife Jelisaveta, through the questioning of my own heritage and ancestors, oral traditions and family legends, artistic or public cultural heritage, such as the life and work of the artist Nadežda Petrović, or a legacy of diferent local tradition.

I also play with styles, eras, traditions and contemporary practices - techniques, collective memory, archetypal forms, sensory experiences, sprituality, mythology, history (etc.) in relation to contemporary social circumstances.
Permeating different narratives from the past in the context of the present day, I try to produce new experiences for the observer who, contrary to the current trend of artistic practices, returns to the ancent searching for the beauty of the world, healing, nature and humanism.
