Artist
Lucija Bogunović
Lucija Bogunović has been studying New Media at the Academy of Fine Arts at the University of Zagreb since 2019. As a photographer she collaborated with Mostar Street Art Festival, Zagreb Film Festival and Gallery Karas. In her artistic practice she explores the conceptual relation between photographic medium and time in depicting fragments of life and repetitive events.
Lara
Lara is a series of analogous photographs that follow the everyday life of a friend and document her environment, social relationship and reactions to various situations in which she finds herself.
Primorska30
Self-portraits taken in the clothes of the former owner of the apartment where she lived in Zagreb. By wearing his clothes Lucija tries to identify and connect with a person she had never met but on whose bed she slept, whose books she read, and at whose table she ate.
Putopis
Putopis is a photography series shot on a highway in a speeding car. Multiple double and long exposures compress the landscape, time and space into a unique unity/wholeness. Figurative becomes abstract and time becomes static.
Ivan Buvinić’s work addresses topics related to memory politics, speculating on contested family histories and personal archives, whilst Matej Jurčević focuses on a critical approach to the representation of youth culture - and to the destigmatization of mental illnesses. Lara Varat’s work deals with sexuality, gender identity and spatial manifestations of queer culture. Finally, Lucija Bogunović’s projects revisit the role of photography medium, exploring its possible translations and materializations in textile and installation formats.
