Tomislav Brajnovic

Born in 1965 Zagreb, Croatia. Graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb 1999, and completed a Masters Degree at St. Martins College of Art London in 2003. His works, “Arbre Magique” and “South Station”, which were made during a collaboration with “Mobius” Boston 2000, “Greenhouse” London 2003 and “Flat Holm Project” Cardiff 2005, are characteristic of his way of working and reacting to context. He uses documentary material, sound, image, objects, and film with little editorial intervention in an attempt to create an authentic trace of their origins. He states that he “Understands art to be inseparable from our beliefs, thoughts and deeds which are in turn determined by place and time of birth.” “The place and time of birth create and form our consciousness. This in turn affects our personality, our nationality, religion and customs. Language depends on this. To raise ourselves from the plane set and to envisage critically our own position means to change ourselves. By changing place we are changing the formative context of our individuality.”
