In her expanded painting and video practice, Nina Zeljković investigates topics and constellations at the intersection between painting and embodiment. This is a field where painting is marked less by the logic of the gaze than by the proximity of a body. A distinctive and continuous undercurrent in the history of painting, this field ranges from the very beginnings – Neanderthal and early hand stencil cave paintings at sites such as the Cave of Maltravieso in Caceres, Spain – to avant-garde action and performative painting in the 20th century.
Inspired by the attitudes that Byzantine painting held towardsimages, taking into account the body moving through space, activating the experience of immersion. Her painterly and cinematic practice seeks to create the decentralized space and challenge the perspective.
Zeljković currently lives between her Studio in Ostružnica, near Belgrade and Hamburg.
