SLOBODAN ZIVIC (B.1976)

SLOBODAN ZIVIC CURRENTLY ESTABLISHED IN STOCKHOLM - BORN AND RAISED IN NORRKÖPING, SWEDEN. RESISTANCE OF THE CONVENTIONAL IS PERPETUALLY PRESENT AND HAS BECOME A CENTRAL ROLE IN ZIVIC’S PRACTICE DUE TO HIS WORKING CLASS UPBRINGING. HE APPROACHES THE COMPLEXITY OF PERCEPTION, SOCIAL STRUCTURES AND TECHNOLOGY AS A SUBJECT. CRITICALLY DISMANTLES AND DISSOLVES UNNECESSARY INFORMATION IN THE PROCESS - AIMING TO REACH A THRESHOLD OF SOMETHING CONSISTANT STILL PARADOXICALLY CONSTANTLY EVOLVING. PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF MATERIALITY WITH UNORTHODOX EXPERIMENTATION THAT REVOLVES AROUND DIVERSE MEDIA AND TECHNIQUES. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PERCEIVED QUALITIES OF TRANSFORMATION AND DECONSTRUCTION IS EMBEDDED IN HIS IRREGULARLY PIERCED, LAYERED OBJECTS. ZIVIC’S WORK EVOKE THE PRESENCE OF CONCEALED MESSAGES, DECIPHERING HIS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THROUGH DUALITY, VIEWING IDENTITY AND CULTURAL HYBRIDITY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF BEING BOTH SWEDISH AND SERBIAN. RECENT SCULPTURES AND WALL-BASED OBJECTS OF HIS RESONATES WITH THAT IMPRINT.
