Bio/Statement:
Glorija Lizde is the winner of the 2022 Radoslav Putar Award.
Glorija’s practice questions concepts of belonging, genealogy and memory. She works primarily with documentary and staged photography as well as with textiles and archival materials. The artist also applies a technique of phototherapy by using herself as a starting point and as a subject of her work in order to transform and create possible scenarios thus constructing new realities. Intertwining personal and collective histories and experiences, the artist seeks to examine the relationship between the private and the public.
