Sanja Ćopićbijenale mladih 2021.

Sanja Ćopić was born in 1992 in Belgrade, where she got a Master’s degree at the Faculty of Fine Arts - Sculpture in the class of professor Mrdjan Bajic. In the first year of her studies, she received an award for the best portrait sculpture and in the last, she was awarded the title of “The perspectives” for young up-and-coming artists. She is also the winner of the video art contest “Body as a regime”. She participated in over 25 group and 3 solo exhibitions in Serbia, Italy, Slovenia, and Austria. Recently, she exhibited at the Salon of the Museum of contemporary art in Belgrade, where she presented a two-channel video installation titled “Standup comedy / Standup tragedy”. She explores identity, lists, memories, fantasies, dreams, and the position of the full-time employed artist in contemporary society by using videos, performance, and installation. She is interested in communication, languages, philanthropy, the beauty of sad and ugly things. Currently, she is attending a Master’s program in Human Resource Management, works in Marketing, and is exhibiting at the October Salon.

In this series of TikTok videos, I try to wrap my head around the ongoing air pollution and ecological crisis in Serbia and the Balkans and the paradoxes of how authorities attempt to deal with it. I adopt the new video format and language that I am not familiar and comfortable with, in order to give my stream of consciousness a 2021 aesthetic and flavor, and hopelessly try to achieve virality.
