Milijana Istijanovic

In my art practice, I deal with the themes moving in the area of identity, gender, body,
space and time. Individual exhibitions are grouped around specific themes and concepts,
with the use of different mediums, materials and languages.
The subjects of my research are
personal and universal issues: body and the corporeal, transience and belonging, the phenomenon of one’s own experience and perception of the outside
and the inner world.
I use space as a medium through which I express my own poetics based upon ordinary objects for everyday use and imaginary situations through the concepts of
belonging and transience.
