Lana Stojićević

Croatian artist Lana Stojićević’s works encompass photography, video, sculpture, installation and embroidery, and are recognisable for their wit and curiosity. She draws much of her inspiration from her homeland, though in Black Hill the landscapes are not recognisable as such. The series centres around an industrial wasteland in the Ravni Kotari region of Croatia. Imagining the black slag heaps as the surface of an unknown planet, Stojićević transforms the landscape into an imaginary nation for which she creates her own traditional costume for its sole resident.
