Ivan Petrović was born in 1973 in Kruševac, Serbia. He took his first degree at the Brača Karić Art Academy in Belgrade in the photography section. As well as photography, which is the basic area of his activity and work (art, research, teaching) he also deals with the short form of documentary film and video. His artistic practice is founded on the interrelations of documentalism, appropriation and revaluation, and is characterised by a heterogeneous performative approach. The main theme that this artist explores through his projects is the phenomenon of discontinuity, and analysis of it is a possible means in the process of the production of his works. He is co-founder and joint editor of the Centre for Photography (with Mihailo Vasiljević). He is initiator and editor of Foto-forum (2010-2011) and author of a book of the same name (2016). He won the Dimitrije Bašičević Mangelos Prize in 2008 and a KulturKontakt grant in Vienna in 2004.
