Ivona, Until It Slips 
2026




Format: An audio-visual installation
Date: 07/2026



Ivona, Until It Slips (2026) is an audiovisual installation
that explores identity as an unstable and continuously produced construct. Through the interplay of face, image, reflection, and sound, the work examines the tension between presence and disappearance, revealing identity not as a fixed condition but as a process of perpetual transformation.

 
Presented as part of the exhibition IDENTITY at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Montenegro (MSUCG), Dvorac Petrovića Gallery, Podgorica, 2026.




Not I / Ne Ja
2026



Format: A hybrid video installation and performance
Date: 02/2026

What remains when subjectivity fails?


NE JA / NOT I is a hybrid video installation and performance inspired by Samuel Beckett’s Not I.
Revisiting Beckett’s fragmented voice through contemporary conditions of digital mediation, the work explores the relationship between speech, image, and bodily presence. Combining moving image, live performance, and sound, it creates a perceptual space shaped by repetition, interruption, and displacement,  where narrative coherence and the stability of the speaking subject begin to unravel.








Rather than presenting a reinterpretation of Beckett’s
text, NE JA / NOT I extends its central questions into
the present moment, examining how contemporary technologies reshape experiences of presence,
perception, and selfhood.


Presented at the Fortepiano Festival, KIC Budo Tomović, Podgorica, Montenegro.
















Homocordia Disapiens 
2023


Format: A transmedial performance and interactive installation
Date: 06/2023

A transmedial performance and interactive installation exploring human connection and alienation in the digital age. Transforming the audience into active participants,
the work unfolds through sound, light, and spatial interaction, creating an environment in which communication and collective experience emerge through engagement. Without participation, the system remains silent, emphasizing the essential role of human presence in activating the work.

Presented in the Partika Hall at the Robert Schumann Hochschule in Düsseldorf, the project reimagines the concert hall as an experimental space where technology mediates perception and social exchange. Operating between person and person, body and system, sound and space, it creates an immersive situation in which artistic, technological, and social processes converge.





Transience
2024


Format: EP album
Date: 04/2024

Transience is an experimental work for piano, electric guitar, and live electronics, exploring the interplay of approaching and distancing. Acoustic instruments are digitally processed in real time, guiding the sound into unpredictable, continuously transforming textures. 

Developed during a residency at Abeceda Institute (Amsterdam) in collaboration with Leon Eckard  and performed at Acud Macht Neu (Berlin), the piece merges technology, presence, and sonic material into a dynamic, immersive experience.






Fermentation mind
2024



Format:audiovisual work
Date: 04/2024

How does a city’s rhythm shape the mind and senses?

An intimate audiovisual journey developed during a residency in 2024, drawing inspiration from the rhythms, diversity, and quiet sparks of life in Hanoi. Original music and layered visuals transform perception, inviting the audience to experience presence, reflection, and the subtle interplay between sound, image, and consciousness.

Continuously evolving, the project anticipates new “species” of sound and imagery, creating an open and safe environment for reflection, attentiveness, and shared experience.




The Pink House of Stara Varoš, 2024



Format:educational lecture and performance
Date: 09/2024

Created within the regional project Soundscapes of the Western Balkans, this work explores Montenegrin tradition and female identity through the story of an extraordinary neon-pink house in Podgorica’s historic Stara Varoš neighborhood. Through the life of its elderly resident, the project reflects on questions central to contemporary Montenegrin society: What does it mean to be an authentic woman today, and how much transformation is possible within structures still shaped by inherited patriarchal norms?

Situating personal stories within broader cultural and community narratives, the work examines the intersections of memory, heritage, resilience, and contemporary expression.

Developed within the framework of CC4WBs and supported by the European Union through the Regional Office of the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation in Tirana.





Appamaññā
2024



Format:live performance
Date: 09/2024

PPAMAÑÑĀ is an immersive ambient solo set exploring the four boundless states of loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. Selected as a featured artist at Niansa Festival (Ljubljana, 2024), which takes place in a forested, outdoor setting, the performance situates sound within nature, allowing listeners to experience the interplay between acoustic and electronic textures and the surrounding environment.

Through slowly unfolding ambient layers, the work fosters a contemplative encounter with sound, space, and presence, encouraging both personal reflection and collective attunement. By merging environmental context with immersive sonic exploration, APPAMAÑÑĀcreates a space of stillness, meditation, and connection. Video documentation was captured by Ursa Rahne.



The Walk
2023


Format: film score
Date: 08/2023

How far should a child have to walk for education?

The Walk is a documentary film about access to education in rural Montenegro, following children from the Gornja Morača region who walk up to 15 kilometers daily across mountains and forests to reach school.

The film addresses issues of inequality, infrastructure, and access to basic education in contemporary society. Through its development, it contributed to a humanitarian campaign that resulted in providing transportation for the children, turning the project into a direct catalyst for social change.


Where to Land?
2021



Format: sonic collaboration
Date: 08/2021


A collaborative experimental work developed during the OneBeat Virtual Fellowship created with: Ju Strassacapa (voice), Royce “Sauce” Handy (MC, cajón, beatbox), Marija Mitrović (piano, vocals), Kiran Nepali (sarangi), Paulo Sartori (acoustic guitar, electric bass, percussion, backing vocals), Ivana Bandalo Benzon (clarinet).

The piece explores collective creation through layered vocal, instrumental, and rhythmic structures, forming a shared sonic space shaped by intercultural dialogue and experimentation.
