Ahead of the opening of the exhibition Weird Fish Is You, we speak with artist Milica Macanović, one of the most compelling voices of the new generation of artistic photography in Serbia.
For years, Milica has been developing a visual world in which analog photography, drawing, and architectural logic intertwine. Her work explores how relationships are formed and dissolved today, what happens to intimacy when it is built through messages, silences, and fragments—and how digital space becomes an emotional landscape.
📅 Tuesday, December 9
🕕 6:00 PM
📍 Đura Jakšić House, Skadarska 34
We talk with Milica about:
- the process of building an intimate, long-term project
- the boundary between the private and the public in documentary photography
- the development of contemporary artistic photography in Serbia and its place within the regional scene
- the transition from architecture to photography
- the significance of self-portraiture and the visual diary in contemporary photography
Milica Macanović is part of a new generation of artists reshaping the language of Serbian photography—boldly, honestly, and with visual precision. The exhibition Weird Fish Is You opens later that same day at 7 PM, at the same venue, making this evening a unique opportunity for the audience to enter the process behind a deeply personal project.
