Petra Mrša
Photography
Croatia

Petra Mrša’s lens-based media work arises from initiating and facilitating situations that implement rule-based scenarios that takes art context as a site to broaden and challenge the experience of self and the production of knowledge. Through thought and physical experiments imposed on herself and/or collaborators, her art process opens up the space for creating new realities in which – horizontality, radical hospitality, and the acceptance of the unknown – shape interpersonal dynamics. Acquired embodied knowledge celebrates vulnerability and imagination, while its documentation provides the public with a foundation for expanding their connections with both human and non-human intelligences.

Petra Mrša holds a master degree in Photography (from Academy of Dramatic Arts), Sociology (from Faculty of Humanities and Social Science), and Psychology (from University Department of Croatian Studies).
