Marina Stanimirovic works with installations that merge sculpture, photography, and writing into layered assemblages. Through collage, she creates constellations of objects that open up multiple narratives at once, oscillating between humour and derision, familiarity and estrangement.
Everyday elements—refrigerator shelves, windows, metal shelving, silicone seals—become protagonists when displaced from their function. Whether imagined and fabricated by
Marina Stanimirovic herself or fetched from the streets, these objects are re-staged as sites of tension, revealing broken systems and deferred maintenance.
Her narratives emerge from personal experience while addressing and confronting broader societal concerns. Heritage, systemic violence and inequality recur throughout her work, with trauma, loss and grief as their lasting repercussions. These experiences shape resilience and frame how individuals adapt —as both a survival strategy and a constraint.
Marina Stanimirovic’s practice is informed by a deep political and social awareness; alongside her artistic work, she engages directly with these issues through her role as a social worker at Wildwasser e.V.
Her installations, in turn, become mediators to confront, reflect on, and render visible these often-hidden realities.
