Dea Džanković is an interdisciplinary artist based in Belgrade, Serbia. She holds a BA degree in Media and Arts production from the Academy of Arts in Belgrade (2014), and two MA degrees in Visual Arts, first being from Sabanci university in Istanbul (2016), and latter from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade. As of 2022, she became a finalist of the Mangelos award and a member of the new media section of ULUS.

Her art practice spans various mediums, including performance, installation, photography, filmmaking, music, and text. Her artworks are inspired by the societal constructs, taboos, and boundaries of her environment, exploring the effects of social conditioning on the individual and collective psyche.

She aims to involve the viewer in a transformative experience, enabling them to engage with the artwork on a personal level by creating spaces for intervention, where one can expose, examine, and hopefully transcend the imposed conditioning.

“Frequency of Belonging” is conceived as an experiential investigation into the energies and frequencies inherent within a space, exploring how these may relate to concepts of belonging, identity, and community.

The process involves measuring the energetic frequency of the space before, during, and after Art Weekend Belgrade, to capture the transformations instigated by human presence and interaction. Participants will be engaged in specific tasks each day designed to influence and alter the space’s energy, reflecting on how collective action and individual presence contribute to the formation of a temporary but potent energetic field. This performance aims to offer a tangible experience of how spaces hold and are shaped by the energies of belonging and alienation, inviting participants and visitors to reflect on their personal and collective roles in shaping the narratives of togetherness and separation.
