Week 5: Lecture

Nadija Mustapić

Mustapić comes from Rijeka, Croatia. The country used to be part of the Yugoslav Republic, until its independence in 1991. Mustpić addresses this within her art work.

She primarily creates video installations, and also documentary films. Her work questions how we inhabit space. She also tackles themes such as neoliberal reality, the disappearance of public relation, and gentrification. She believes that video installations should be a territory that displays lived experience.
From her perspective it is not always necessary to use linear narrative. Through her visual work she explores the relationship with semantics and visual meaning.
