Angela Blažanović (b.1995) is a visual artist based in London, UK. She completed MA Photography at the Royal College of Art and BA (Hons) Photography at London Metropolitan University in 2019 .
With a particular interest in the discarded & overlooked, the artist utilises a performative approach between photography and sculpture in order to investigate the poetic qualities of everyday objects. The symbiotic relationship between human and landscape, traces of human presence and questions of home & belonging are central themes in Blažanović’s practice.
In her recent work, the artist follows an autobiographical approach - developing enquiries into diasporic identity and her journey through grief and depression.
