Katarina Zdjelar’s video, sound, and text works all document a moment of physical expression, which takes on visual and audible form in the transition from speech to music. They show how historical and geopolitical forces impinge on individual or collective desires.

“Resonant Bodies, Voices, Memories” evolves around memory, voice and the body – more specifically around instances where our habitual abilities to sense, remember, and speak are somehow disrupted or suspended. Such shifts and ruptures may occur through experiences such as living under an oppressive regime, migration, trying to make oneself understood in a foreign language, or through physical inhibitions like aphasia or stuttering.

Katarina Zdjelar’s work is shaped by an ongoing engagement with language, voice, music, and the formation of political and cultural identity.
