Slobodan Zivic (b. 1976) was born and raised in Norrköping and currently reside in Stockholm, Sweden. His practice revolves around unorthodox experimentation and cross-disciplinary methods. Zivic frequently revisits ready-made techniques, blending various media as he pushes the boundaries of materiality. His artistic approach explores and suggests a relationship between the perceived qualities of transformation and destruction. The often irregularly pierced, double-layered aesthetic of his object-like works evokes the presence of concealed messages. He focuses on the complexity of social structures, perception, and technology—deciphering his personal experience through a dual heritage, viewing identity and cultural hybridity from the perspective of being both Swedish and Serbian.
