May 6 – June 20, 2025 at the Gallery on Štrafta
The exhibition of works by young painter and new media artist Aleksa Mitrović is on display at the Gallery on Štrafta, at the corner of Mihajlo Pupin Boulevard and Pionirska Street. The work titled Inside the Cage, which explores the culture of animal exploitation and the consequences of contemporary technology that has rendered it invisible yet omnipresent in everyday life, can be viewed until June 20.
“Through drawings belonging to the series Contamination, I depict the methods and consequences of the exploitation of animals for human benefit. I transfer fragments of media images from reports on this subject onto paper. I retain and emphasize the relationships between the visible and invisible parts of digital photography, which serves as my template. Through my work, I aim to raise questions about the accessibility of information regarding the human relationship with the living world today. I also wish to highlight the indispensable role that contemporary technologies play in this relationship.” – Aleksa Mitrović
