Sanja Ivekovic belongs to the artistic generation which emerged after ‘68 and was raised in Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Her art production has spanned a range of media such as photography, performance, video, installations and actions in the public domain since the 1970s. Ivekovic’s work is marked by the critical discourse with the politics of images and body. The analysis of identity constructions in media as well as political engagement, solidarity and activism belong to her artistic strategies. In the Yugoslav/ Croatian art scene, she was the first woman artist to express a clearly feminist attitude. In 1973, she started to work with video. In the late eighties she was a founder and a member of a number of women’s non-government organizations in Croatia. In the 1990s, her work from dealt with the collapse of socialist regimes, the consequences of the triumph of capitalism and the market economy over living conditions, particularly on women. |
