Aleksandra Domanović

Historical Disruptions and the Imprint of Technology

Aleksandra Domanović’s (b. Novi Sad, former Yugoslavia, 1981; lives and works in Berlin) creative practice explores the entanglements between technology, history, and cultural identity. One central concern in her multimedia works is a sustained engagement with the transformation of the Western Balkan after the collapse of Yugoslavia, the influence of the internet, and the role of the media. Domanović investigates the various technological arrangements that cater to the impulse to tell stories about our past, be they monuments or statues, the mass media or imaging processes in medicine.

Published on the occasion of a major survey exhibition at Kunsthalle Wien, Aleksandra Domanović’s first extensive monograph presents sculptures, videos, prints, photographs, and digital works from the past eighteen years. It contains a wide-ranging interview with the artist by the exhibition’s curator, Michelle Cotton, as well as essays by the curator Carson Chan, the curator and writer Caitlin Jones, the magazine editor and writer Pablo Larios, and the critic and essayist Marcel Štefančič Jr.
