Bio/Statement:
Đejmi Hadrović received the 2022 OHO/Young Visual Artist Award for emerging visual artists in Slovenia with her film essay “Nena“.
Đejmi Hadrović defines herself as an ultra contemporary post-war artist. She creates media artworks, photos, performances, and installations. Her works question the conditions of the appearance of an image in the context of contemporary visual culture in which images, representations, and ideas usually function. Her works directly respond to the surrounding environment and use everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point.
