Biography
Biljana Bosnjakovic was born in 1970 in Yugoslavia (now Serbia) and currently lives in Verona, Italy.
She is a multimedia artist, who works primarily with video, performance, photography, sculpture and installation, where she coordinates, curates and creates every single achievement.
In the development of her works, Biljana often focuses attention on her own body and has created multimedia installations and live performances that interact with the audience. These include::
- video "Mutazione", shown in 2007 at Aula Magna of the University of Verona,
- video "Thus Spoke Palladio", commissioned in 2008 with the support of CISA Andrea Palladio, Vicenza,
- video installation "Zodiac for Stockhausen", presented in 2009 at the Camploy Theatre in Verona,
- solo performance "The Vitruvian Woman" in 2009, at the Okidoki Art Gallery in Berlin,
- theatrical performance "Prekid" in 2010, for the Angel Art Gallery in Milan and Cell63 Art Gallery in Berlin,
- multimedia installation "Japon, mon amour", at Palazzo Birolli, curated by Gabriello Anselmi, Verona 2011.
- participation in the project "Feminism in the art of women", for Livinggallery lab, Poland 2012.
- Performance "Woman" at ACUD Theatre in Berlin, as a part of the MPA-B (Month of Performance Art Berlin) in 2012.
- Theatrical performance and installation "Madre Natura" for the event Mantova Creativa, in Mantua, Italy, 2012.
- Installation "Blue", in collaboration with the architect Roberto Nicolis, at The Benedictine Monastery, Catania, Sicily, 2012.
The next steps of her research are recently shifting to the observation of the influence of weather and natural elements on her art, which is executed and performed in open spaces. What she intends to do is to allow the environment to intervene on every step of the evolution of her works. It is as though she feels the need to fuse and merge with Nature, in an effort to return to - as well as the search for - the Self.
