Ivona, Until It Slips
Ivona – Until It Slips is an audiovisual installation exploring the conflict between systems that seek to define identity and the fluid nature of the self. Through moving image, sound, facial presence, and reflection, the work creates an environment of continuous observation, categorization, and transformation.
The installation reflects on the ways contemporary society encourages individuals to construct coherent and recognizable identities, while lived experience often remains unstable, shifting, and unresolved. Identity emerges here not as a fixed structure but as something constantly changing, adapting, slipping away from categorization, and resisting permanence.
Presented within the exhibition IDENTITY at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Montenegro (MSUCG), Dvorac Petrovića Gallery..
Ne Ja / Not I
NE JA / NOT I is a hybrid video installation and performance developed in dialogue with Samuel Beckett’s Not I, rearticulated through the conditions of contemporary digital mediation. Combining moving image, movement and sound, the work explores experiences of estrangement and the ways social expectations, inherited roles, and mechanisms of visibility shape female subjectivity.
Through a prepared piano, live sound processing, and a quadraphonic sound environment, the work articulates a fragmented sonic field in which the collision of ritual and contemporary sound reflects a dislocated subject..
Presented at the Fortepiano Festival of Contemporary Music, KIC Budo Tomović, Podgorica, Montenegro.
Appamaññā

What If Joseph K. Did Not Die
What If Joseph K. Did Not Die is an original composition created as the main musical theme for Dušanka Belada’s stage adaptation of Franz Kafka’s The Trial, produced by the Montenegrin National Theatre.
The piece explores the psychological tension of Kafka’s world through a dark, fragmented sonic language. Its central theme becomes a recurring musical presence throughout the performance, while live theremin interventions introduce an unstable and otherworldly layer to the sound.
The interplay between the composed score and live electronic sound reflects the play’s atmosphere of alienation, uncertainty, and confrontation with an incomprehensible system.
Homocordia Disapiens
A transmedial performance and interactive installation exploring human connection and alienation in digitally mediated environments. Through sound, light, and spatial interaction, the work transforms the audience into active participants whose presence is necessary for the system to function. Communication and collective experience emerge through engagement, positioning technology not only as a tool but as a mediator of perception and social exchange.
Presented at Partika Hall, Robert Schumann Hochschule, Düsseldorf, the project reimagines the concert hall as an experimental space in which technology mediates perception and collective experience.

Living Waters
A quiet, contemplative film exploring solitude, impermanence, and the human search for meaning in an indifferent world. Set against the vast and constantly shifting landscape of the Arctic, the film follows a woman adrift on a moving sheet of ice, turning the camera toward herself as both observer and subject. As the ice slowly disappears beneath her, memory, presence, and certainty begin to dissolve with it, transforming the act of observation into a meditation on disappearance, uncertainty, and the fragile nature of existence.
The film has been presented at international short film festivals, including Manaki Brothers International Cinematographers’ Festival, Underhill Fest, Drim Short Film Festival, and ShorTS International Film Festival.
Little tales of misogyny
Little Tales of Misogyny is a stage work based on short stories by Patricia Highsmith, directed and performed by Anđela Marunović, with live music improvisation of Marija Mitrović (piano) and Martin Djordjevic (drums). The work explores misogyny, gendered expectations, and power relations through a fragmented language of movement, voice, and live music. The score creates a shifting sonic space of tension, repetition, and rupture, functioning as an independent dramatic layer within the performance.
Seagull
Following the flight of a seagull over the Adriatic, Galeb / Seagull explores the fragile space between movement and stillness, memory and silence, belonging and freedom. Through an interplay of acoustic and electronic sound, the work creates a suspended landscape in which the Adriatic becomes a metaphorical space of transition, longing, and reflection.
An excerpt from Balkan F(r)iction - a filmed concert and electroacoustic manifesto produced by Galama Art, Atomic Production, and TinySofa.
Supported by Zetski dom and the Ministry of Culture and Media of Montenegro.
A Tin of White
Original score for the short drama A Tin of White (2023), exploring unresolved emotions between mother and son as decluttering a room becomes a shared challenge. The music blends delicate textures with emotional resonance, supporting the narrative’s tension and intimacy.

Revelation
Composed for the second chapter of the transmedia performance Homocordia Disapiens, this work accompanies a film addressing contemporary social and environmental concerns, including overconsumption, racism, plastic pollution, and social alienation. Through the interaction of music and moving image, the project examines behavioural patterns that shape everyday life and collective experience. The work was performed and recorded live by students of the Robert Schumann Hochschule.
The composition was later selected by the Montenegrin Cinematheque for a series of short video portraits of Montenegrin cities through time.
