Jelena Micić’ special interest lies in the investigation of different
cultural and socio-political aspects of color and color systems. Most of
her artistic practice includes field work and research-based collecting
of visual information. Appropriating the everyday, her work often
presupposes chosen patterns of human behavior and acts accompanying
their presence. Recently banned disposable plastic is the raw material
for Micić’ works presented at viennacontemporary 2021 by Galerie3.
