iva suhadolnik gregorin
Iva Suhadolnik Gregorin (1997) is a conceptual and visual artist who works across performance, photography, and text. Her work interrogates questions of labour, identity and power structures, while simultaneously reaching toward the magical and metaphysical. She merges her emotional and personal landscape with the political, arguing they are undeniably intertwined. Her practice serves as an opportunity to create temporary spaces that emerge as invitations for emancipation and (or) a catalyst for dismantling the work ethic.
Iva lives in Ljubljana and works in Slovenia, United Kingdom and in Italy. She earned her bachelor’s degree from the Academy of Visual Arts (AVA) in Ljubljana. Prior to pursuing visual arts, she studied architecture for three years at the Faculty of Architecture in Ljubljana before dropping out. Since 2020 she has been working with film photography which was joined by performance shorty after. Sensitivity and honesty serve as both the foundation of her practice and the lens through which she perceives and engages with the world. She places great importance on uncovering the inner workings of performance and photography as art forms.
