Gusle, 2015

Video, looped (9.45 minutes)

The Gusle is a primary reference point in Petrija's childhood. Traditionally this stringed instrument is played by a male figure accompanied with his deep vocals; singing stories of Serbian life and War. Within this work, the artist expresses the balance between being Australian born and having Serbian migrant parents.

Exhibited at The Galleries, Sydney. 24 November to 12 December 2015 - The Annual Exhibition 15 @ UNSW Art & Design.
