Life and education

Danica Dakić was born in 1962 in Sarajevo[2] and grew up in Yugoslavia.[3] She studied from 1981 to 1985 at the Sarajevo Academy of Arts and then moved to the University of Arts in Belgrade, where she continued her studies until 1988 and completed her master's degree in painting.[4] In 1988 she left Yugoslavia and went to Germany, where she studied from 1988 to 1990 at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in the class of Nam June Paik.[4][5]

She spent the Bosnian war in Germany and in 1997 she returned to Sarajevo for the first time.

Work

Dakić works across all media – from drawing to photography, video and sound works, film, performances, and sculptural objects. Employing performative and participatory processes, she creates images and voices that interrogate ever-changing social, political, and cultural contexts also for their utopian potential. In her works she also incorporates personal factors. Her working method is characterised by her longstanding collaboration with the photographer Egbert Trogemann, the composer Bojan Vuletić, and the producer Amra Bakšić Čamo. Her projects are based on often lengthy research and production processes, which make intensive collaboration with the protagonists in her works indispensable. Starting out from a particular architecture, a historical place, or an (art) historical image, she creates stages with the participants on which individual worlds of images and narratives are created, beyond political, social, or economic classifications and codifications.[6]

The Bosnian War and the Siege of Sarajevo had a profound influence on her artistic development and her early work. Beginning in 1997, in collaboration with the Sarajevo Center for Contemporary Art (SCCA), she developed works in Sarajevo's urban spaces that engaged with the upheavals of a post-war society and that uncover processes of language development: In the video projection MADAME X (1997) she positioned herself for the first time in her hometown after all the changes caused by the war. In an alleyway in Sarajevo, her speaking mouth could be seen, but no sounds were heard.[6] In her work WITNESS (1998), she placed a video and sound intervention on the empty pedestal of the monument to the writer Ivo Andrić in Sarajevo's city park, to question the rewriting of history in times of great upheavals using the example of the missing bust of the Nobel Prize winner.[7]
