Biography
Brankica ZILOVIC
Born in Serbia in 1974, Brankica Žilović lives and works in Paris.
After an academic career at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts in Belgrade then at the Ecole des Beaux-arts in Paris, she taught for many years at the Parsons School in Paris, at the Ecole Supérieure de Beaux-arts of Angers TALM and at LISAA (Higher Institute of Applied Art, Animation).
Brankica Žilović is known for her textile wall installations. In a true cosmogony featuring atlases, celestial maps and other drifting territories, it tells us all the complexity, fragility and precariousness of the contemporary world.
Deeply marked by her Yugoslav origins, she creates a work whose most salient aspect is the systematic use of cartography in its political, imaginary and poetic dimensions. Deeply humanist, the artist confronts insular logics and a return to forgotten values in utopian lands while inviting everyone to undertake an inner journey.
In a work restoring its place to the imagination, Brankica Žilović exorcises the finitude of existence in a creative act which celebrates life and resilience, while exploring the possibility of an elsewhere, of a new and a renewal.
Her work has been the subject of multiple exhibitions at the Departmental Domain of Chamarande, at the LAccolade Foundation (Institut de France), at the François Schneider Foundation in Wattwiller, at the Shanghai Museum of Modern Art, at the Royal Monastery of Brou in Bourg-en-Bresse at the National Automobile Museum in Turin, at the Caudry Lace Museum, at the French Playing Card Museum, at the China Art Museum in Shanghai and in numerous art centers in France and abroad.
