| 79 | Born in Mrkonjić Grad, lives and works in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Working mainly with drawing and animation, his practice explores how image and movement unfold into spatial experiences. Through multilingual forms of communication, he traces the roots of creation and emotion, leaving the viewer’s imagination suspended in a state of uncertainty. Since 2006, he has exhibited and presented his work in Bosnia and Herzegovina and internationally. His work has been shown at institutions including Hamburger Kunsthalle, Kunsthalle Darmstadt, Künstlerhaus Vienna, CICA Museum in South Korea, the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Republic of Srpska, and the National Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as at international film and video festivals in Wrocław, Porto, Tianjin, Athens, Ljubljana, Berlin, Örebro, and Belgrade. He is an Assistant Professor of Intermedia Art at the Academy of Arts, University of Banja Luka. |
