TWO
Sara Perović
Nominated by

What are relationships made of? Are they meant to last? Does „forever“ exist, or is it a childhood dream of love, bound by family? Is mathematics fixed, or is it relative? Does 1+1 always equal 2, or can it be 1+1=1, as Tarkovsky suggests in Nostalghia?
In one of my most transformative relationships, the one that gave me my daughter, I like to think 1+1=3 — not just a sum, but a fusion. After that relationship ended, I questioned everything and started anew. I learned that „forever“ isn’t static, but fluid — like a dance, sometimes solo, sometimes with a partner, sometimes with many, always shifting. With TWO, I explore relationships through my photographic archive — a playful meditation on the meaning of „two.“ My equation for „two“ has never quite returned to a simple sum. It represents balance, union and separateness, complementary forces in a dance of constant embrace — capturing fleeting, private moments that feel universally true.

Lives and Works in
Berlin, Germany
Sara Perovic’s photography begins with the personal,
drawing from her own experiences and memories, and
expands into broader themes of repetition, abstraction,
and identity. Her work explores how personal moments
shape perception and emotional expression. In Palmeral
(2017), Perovic uses texture, repetition, and the fragility
of nature to reveal the unseen complexities of plants.
My Father’s Legs (2020) blends personal reflection with
artistic exploration, confronting memory and healing
through repetitive gestures, navigating emotional
expression and abstraction. TWO (2024) explores
human relationships, visualizing emotional connections
with metaphorical imagery and a poetic “hugs ballad.”
In Home Mirror I, Perovic catalogs her belongings to
explore identity as both a collection of material and
memory.
Her book My Father’s Legs was shortlisted for the
Les Rencontres d’Arles Prix du Livre d’Auteur and the
Aperture/Paris Photo First Book Award. Perovic also
founded aTree, a fanzine promoting young photographers,
available at MoMA Library in New York. She works as a
photographer and architect in Berlin.
