Marina Stanimirovic’s artistic installative practice is rooted in personal experiences that evolve into collective narratives. Her work explores contemporary issues related to humanity and society, with a particular focus on heritage, societal constructions, intersectional discriminations, and inevitable experiences such as loss and mourning. She seeks to understand the processes of normalisation, as well as the mechanisms of survival, adaptation, and resilience that arise from these experiences.
Through spatial arrangements of materials and objects, Marina Stanimirovic creates scenes and intervenes by integrating photographs, poems, videos, and/or sound experiments. By using found objects (vases, refrigerator shelves, car windows…) and pieces she makes herself (wall lamps, coat racks, clothespins…), she creates a dialogue between the authentic and the fictional. This interaction produces a sense of familiarity while destabilizing the viewer, thus revealing the hidden layers of our daily lives. Her references to standardised furniture, the everyday, and the mundane are conscious acts of reappropriation, often carried out with humor or irony.
