Bio/Statement:
Milo Masoničić is the recipient of the 2025 Milčik Award for Young Visual Artists in Montenegro.
Sampling sits at the core of Milo Masoničić’s practice, functioning both as a tool and as a way of perceiving the world. His work spans experimental film, video, sound, and digital media, drawing on processes of montage, appropriation, archiving, and remixing. By working with fragments displaced from their original narratives, Masoničić constructs new visual and digital landscapes from materials that are already familiar or recognizable. Recurring motifs from different sources are layered and reassembled, creating rhythm through irregular loops that partially repeat while subtly shifting with each iteration. Although the materials and methods vary, Masoničić’s practice consistently returns to themes of childhood, time and aging, nature, and technology, exploring the fragile relationships between memory, repetition, and transformation.
Masoničić has shown his work at several international exhibitions and festivals: Tenderness, Milčik annual exhibition, NGVU Podgorica, Montenegro – Milčik Award, (2025); KidsForever – INTERBIFEP International Biennial of Portrait, Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina – Award for Best Video Work (2024); Fubar Expo 2k24, Regional Glitch, Zagreb, Croatia (2024); Intermediaciones, Medellín, Colombia (2024); Rare Effect 2024, Lisbon, Portugal (2024); Digital Kunst 2025, Germany; and What Endures Began as Imagination, Gallery Neon, Belgrade, Serbia — Award for Best Art Work (2025); Love Machine, Vacations in the Subconscious, group exhibition, Germany (2023); Grandparents – Festival of Different and Experimental Cinemas of Paris, Paris, France (2019); Cinémathèque Temporaire du CJC #7, Paris, France (2021); and in the group exhibition Semiconscious, The Islington Arts Factory, London, United Kingdom (2023).
