visual arts
As visual/fine/artist, i cannot make a clear and tidy separation of my works in specific category. So i listed them in chronological order.
My works speak/think around human condition, of emotions inside our everyday life, where new is perceived as what has always been there.

4R // site specific performance // sound recordings to be listened in bathrooms
24 April 2010 ALCHERMES // studio TRAI Rome, indipendent project cured by artist // http://www.trai.eu/sladzana-bogeska.html
These project was runned only by artist, with the intent to bring people, cultural workers attention to public event inside non specific contest, as public school,
that became differently lived and used by the artist for one evening.
Inside 4R i used and listened the space as medium.
I chose the big bathroom as meeting place where you can hear water sounds and echoes running all over the school space.
I spent time listening the space sounds and echoes it produces,
filtered by tubes, walls, corridors.
I used materials that i found inside: 4 water taps, 2 big rectangular sinks, water filling pressure coming from/into the tubes. ...
The performance consisted of live playing with 4 sinks, filling them at different measure and time,
using different water pressure to create specific sounds and echoes
inside the bathroom and also all over the school for the invited visitors that during the performance also interacted.
Recordings inside and outside the bathroom, soon can be heard. Images from the live performance follows.
Sound recordings of specific public space as school bathroom, to be listened in bathrooms.
narrating experience // artist in residence
Things left unsaid
2 - 11 April '10 Progetto Isole, art residence project in Piana degli Albanesi, Sicily.
Narrating intent means elaboration of particular moments and points inside specific contest in time.
Time spent in particular place as Piana degli Albanesi, called "island Inside Island" by the curators of the Project Isole.
I created a narrative and photography project that elaborated 10 days residence stay in Sicily.
Describing these "artist in residence experience" as chronological sequence of events narrated through photographs and text.
The text is written in italian language, which in these moment i speak best, but i also translated in english.
These work is based upon my personal time spent and shared there with the local people, with the other participating artist, the places i saw and about i learned more.
These work elaborates my everyday life there as artist in residence that interrogates itself the meaning and the importance of such experience.

\\ 2009 \\ Biennale Young Macedonian Artist, "Identities" at the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Skopje, Macedonia. Cured by Mira Gacina.
\\ 2009 \\ Video it 09 "A Bridge over the Mediterrenean", Artegiovane project.
3 person 3 languages project consist of 3 single channel video, to be viewed on 3 panels or screens with 3 separated sound channels.
The sound of every video plays simultaneously, in loop, creating sound over lapses because every sequence has its own variable time.
The video installation can be also be viewed as single channel video.
The project includes prints of the backstage and of the written words pronounced in the video.
...I asked this people to think of the meaning of the words while pronouncing them in their mother tongue language in specific order.
The language's are similar and chosen by me because i do understand them and because of their shared origins.
The words order and meaning i wanted them to repeat are same for every language. But they found own order for the interpretation,
controlling the duration of each video sequence, which in some way confirms the relation between the language and its personal interpretation.
The repetition of the words sequence is visible because i wanted to leave the whole process visible, with the “errors”
as non following the order of the interpretation, changing words, meanings, quitting and restarting, reading, etc..
The sequences may appear the same but they are always different because of the non edited and non perfect human interpretation.
The languages used are Macedonian. which is my mother tongue language, Serbian, which is also my second mother tongue language and Bulgarian which is similar.
More info about this project and research on language can be provided only on request.
thanks to: Ana | Viktor | Vasko for their patience and partecipation.

Ongoing series of video projects that i decided to name City Stories, which were recorded and produced in different cities among which Copenhagen and Barcelona.
The sound inside these works becomes efficient medium that plays along with the image, reconstructing memory of visited places, through the process of editing.
Dawn Conversation in Copenhagen is about the strange feelings that overwhelm us while watching the city periphery horizon at dawn,
asking us questions related to the city that we cross rapidly while we change places in short time.
This feelings are expressed also through non native English speaking voices that overlaps and sledge through time.
Experiences and curiosity, while we pass through global landscapes of the expanded cities speaking about what we see.

Musiche originali di Anastasia, “Pass over”. Video dedicato a Aracinovo (Skopje) Macedonija
in italiano - Questo video vorrebbe essere solo un breve racconto di immagini che scorrono sotto i vostri occhi, immagini di case abbandonate da chi le abitava e che non tornera mai a casa. Immagini di violenza su queste case, violenza che costringe a non tornare, a non dimenticare.
Le immagini sono state realizzate dalle stesse persone che una volta abitavano le case e poi combinati insieme da me per creare un senso di storia combinata tra il passato e il presente, che ancora oggi è attuale come tema di possibile o impossibile convivenza tra due diversi.
