Dea Dzankovic is an interdisciplinary artist based in Belgrade, Serbia. She holds a BA degree in Media and Arts production from the Academy of Arts in Belgrade (2014), and two MA degrees in Visual Arts, first being from Sabanci university in Istanbul (2016), and latter from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade. As of 2022, she became a laureat of Mangelos prize and a member of the new media section of ULUS.
Her artistic practice includes performance, installation, photography, filmmaking, music and text. The artworks she produces are a direct result of her environment, with all the societal constructs, taboos and boundaries it entails. She explores these instances and the effects of various forms of social conditioning on the individual and collective psyche. Her works are oriented towards involving the viewer as much as possible and creating spaces for intervention where one can expose, examine, engage and transcend the imposed conditioning in order to forge a narrative that renders connection rather than separation.
