VITA
Dejan Kaludjerovic was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. He gained an MA in visual arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade in 2004. For his achievements in visual arts, Dejan Kaludjerovic was granted an honourable Austrian citizenship.
Since finishing his studies in 2004, Dejan Kaludjerović has been exploring the conjunction between consumerism and childhood, to analyse identity formation and stability of representational forms. Most of his paintings, drawings, objects, videos and installations, employ the processes of recycling, copying and re-enacting, thus creating patterns that simulate mechanical reproduction, and criticise homogeneity embedded in popular culture.
