Ana Rajčević (DE) is an artist working at the intersection of sculpture, fine arts and performance, focusing on different ways of altering the body through complex pieces of adornment called “prosthetic body - sculptures”. Her artistic practice confronts the question of how the ever-shifting material forms and substances in which human subjects are embodied configure understandings of “humanity” itself. With a multi-disciplinary inquiry that combines experimental art and design with research in biomedicine, history, materials science, and psychology, Rajcevic creates unique ‘wearable sculptures’ using most notably natural and synthetic polymers: wax, resin, silicon and rubber, as well as other novel materials and techniques. Exhibiting internationally in such museums and galleries as the Louvre (FR), Smithsonian Design Museum (US), Boijmans Museum (NL), Venice Biennale (IT), her work has been published in The Independent, The Guardian, Wired, CNN, and Dazed & Confused, among others.
She has received multiple awards for her work, and since 2015 she has been elected member of the RSA - Royal Society of Arts in London. Rajcevic regularly works and collaborates within the performing arts field, and her performance collaborations were shown in venues such as Sadler's Wells (UK), Haus der Kulturen der Welt (DE), and Münchner Kammerspiele (DE). She earned a Master of Arts from the University of the Arts, London, in 2012, and has since been regularly invited as conference speaker and lecturer.
