Sandra Sterle (HR)

Sandra Sterle (Zadar, 1965) graduated at the Department of Sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb and continued her education at the Department of Film and Video of the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf. From 1991 to 2000 she lived and worked in Amsterdam, where she received several scholarships and awards for her artistic work. In 2001 she started teaching at the Arts Academy in Split, first a course on new media and then the courses entitled Performance and Video and Art in Context. Her works have been exhibited, performed and screened at numerous national and international artistic institutions. Her works move within both real and virtual geographies in relation to which she creates fluid identity configurations, constantly defining new social, biological and communicational formats. She is interested in physical performances as a medium of performing identity within the framework of a classical definition of a performance or through constructs, using video, film, media technologies or building methodologically complex narratives.
