My work has always been driven by obsessions,
dreams and phantasms, actually, by need to discover them. Thus personal is
proved as political, my oeuvre is influenced by social-political
constellations.
Crossing a vide variety of media (painting,
photography, filmmaking), my opus is expression of rebellion against existing,
social systems, regimes and ideologies.
Through a kind of theatrical form of new cyber
surrealism, I play with social ethic and aesthetic norms. Mixing
fashion-glamorous style with bizarre and grotesque, my work, very often,
contains a sense of humor and parody.
The topic of this project is Turbo Folk. It is
musical path occurred in Serbia in the beginning of 1990s as a consequence of
the war in the territory of former Yugoslavia. It links ethnic Balkan music
with techno rhythms.
The project is consisted of a video in a form of
a TV-show, a poster for the TV-show and “scandalous porn” you tube
video.
My project is a glocal story, local as well as
global. It talks about transition of a country from socialism into capitalism.
Imitating the West, Serbian Turbo Folk is a transparent and denuded version of
the Western jet-set, it is its distorted mirror, mutated product.
