About
Anastasija Pavić (b. 1998, Serbia) is a multimedia artist whose practice includes performance, video, photography, and installation. She holds a degree in New Media Art from the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Arts in Belgrade.
Pavić’s artistic approach centers on the relationship between the body and the image, considering how representations become integrated into our sense of self. Within conditions of constant exposure, her work reflects on the exchange between the self as it is presented and the self as it is perceived. She engages with feminine archetypes, focusing on how these figures are enacted and repositioned through performance. Pavić inhabits fictional personas and exaggerated identities, negotiating the expectations and fantasies encoded in these constructions.
Her practice extends into digital environments, where projected versions of the self create new possibilities of representation, morphing the way the self is perceived. This extension points to broader systems of optimization that make constant improvement feel necessary.
Pavić has presented work at Kunsthalle Bratislava, Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles in Paris, Queer Museum Vienna, The Wrong Biennale, and has been featured at Ars Electronica. In 2023, she was a finalist for the Dimitrije Bašičević Mangelos Young Visual Artist Award, organized in collaboration with Residency Unlimited, New York. In 2024, she received the BeFem Feminist Cultural Centre Award for Multimedia Art.
