Goran Škofić

Goran Škofić graduated at the Arts Academy in Split (Croatia) in 2005. The awards he has received include Oktavijan Award at the Days of Croatian Film in 2001, Radoslav Putar Award for best young artist in 2009, the Grand Prix at the 51st Zagreb Salon (Croatia) in 2016, among others.  

Škofić explores the position of the individual in a variety of social spheres of contemporary life. His works consist of photo and video collage, spatial installations, recorded performance, film and sound elements. His work is based on extracting various sequences from real life and by placing them into a new context through image manipulation, he offers a surreal situation as a legitimate one. By using technological possibilities and post-production of the image, he explores the relationship between original and its representation. Social control, manipulation, lack of authority, social aspects and absurdities of everyday life are constant topics of his work, often interpreted through a humorous form.
