Sandra Vitaljic
Biografi
Sandra Vitaljić är konstnär och arbetar i gränslandet mellan dokumentär- och konceptuell fotografi, med fokus på kollektivt minne, nationell identitet och kvinnliga migranters erfarenheter. Genom forskningsbaserat arbete gestaltar hon komplexa sociala och historiska frågor, ofta ur ett kvinnligt och politiskt medvetet perspektiv. Hon undersöker vad som synliggörs och vad som förträngs i historieskrivningen, och skapar alternativa minnesrum för marginaliserade erfarenheter. Vitaljić har en masterexamen i fotografi och en doktorsexamen i fotografins historia från FAMU i Prag, samt vidareutbildad på Kungliga Konsthögskolan. Mellan 2004-2019 undervisade hon i fotografi vid Akademin för scenkonst i Zagreb. Vitaljić är sedan 2019 bosatt i Stockholm.
Sandra Vitaljić graduated with an MFA in photography from the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts (FAMU) in Prague. She completed her doctoral studies in history and the theory of photography at the same university.
In her artistic work, she focuses on social issues, topics of immigration, collective memory and the relationship to history. In her theoretical and curatorial practice, she is engaged with conflict photography and the ethics of photographic representation.
From 2004 to 2019, she taught photography at the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb, Croatia and participated in establishing and affirming its Department of Photography. She won the first award of the Croatian contemporary art competition T-HT@MSU (2014), the CCN Award residence (Graz, Austria 2013), a Fulbright scholarship (USA, 2006/7) and an artistic residence CEC ArtsLink (USA, 1997).
She is the author of the books "Infertile Grounds" (Eikon Studio, 2012), "War of Images – Contemporary War Photography" (Algoritam, 2013) and "Up Close and Personal: War in Croatia" (War Photography Museum, 2018). She has exhibited at numerous solo and group exhibitions, including "Natural Histories. Traces of the Political" (MUMOK, Vienna, 2017); "Vigilance, Struggle, Pride: Through Her Eyes" (Zagreb-Maribor-Berlin, 2018) and "Beloved" at photography festival Chobi Mela VII in Dhaka (2013).
She curated the exhibitions "Lessons from 1991" (DZZ Maribor, Organ vida, Zagreb, 2016) and "Up Close and Personal: War in Croatia" (War Photography Museum, 2018).
