Less than unity – Ljubomir Popović

Vernissage: 24 January, 17:00–20:00

There are reasons Popović actively engages with the dynamic growth of the city environment. Through sculptural installations and video he comments on urban politics and the continuously changing urban environment. Capturing the material in the site specific, to mimic and trace the form of repetitive structures in urban change and geopolitics.

The installations are built up to expose the found and leftover material used in construction sites. His videoworks reflects on his background as a diaspora, having fled to Sweden during the Balkan war in the 90’s. By collecting fragments of video, sound & found objects, Popovic displaces them out of their context. Creative destruction, and its ruin value articulates a critical approach to the capitalist framework of urbanism, displacement, infrastructure & war.

Ljubomir Popovic is an artist born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (1987). Based in Stockholm, Sweden and is currently studying for his final year Master degree in Fine Arts at Konstfack. Popović graduated with a BFA in Fine Arts at Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Also an alumnus of "Sculpture and Space" at Die Angewandte - The University of Applied Arts in Vienna.
