This Artemis Projects podcast is with Belgrade-based filmmaker, performer, and video-artist Anja Dimitrijević recorded via Skype on 17th May 2020 during the Covid19 lock downs.
We speak about the online education, performances, connections, and new art languages that are emerging as a consequence of physical distancing.
We enquired about the state of our bodies in increasingly digitised world and what are some of the ways to keep our bodies and our senses alive and active while engaged with the screen.
We also spoke about Anja’s recent dance video ‘Blokovi’, made during the social isolation and featuring the building and the neighbourhood in which she grew up and where she currently lives. The film is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq4hD9xbq6A&list=UUaeBBG2VBDbhD6gQhFHV8ow&index=1
Towards the very end of the podcast, I ask Anja to describe the Covid19 experience in three words. I was also curious to know what are her hopes for the future and where would she like to see the humanity go.
