DJOANA GUEORGUIEVA

 DJOANA DJONES


Djoana Gueorguieva is a Bulgarian-born, multi-country child of diaspora. Working as an inter-disciplinary aritsit predominantly within moving image art and installation. Her films and sculptural installations over the last years have primarily sought to question the need for a singular identity, playing with memory and time in relation to narrative storytelling as a practice, and deconstructed cultural and generational transmission through the form of collective memory. All in an effort to further transcend linguistic confines and explore the fluid depths of human interiority her practice delves into a slow reading of how one interprets communication through familiar gestures passed on through transmission like a spoons, sheets and songs..

From a start in International Relations to an A. A in Photo Journalism from F.I.T . Djoana went on to complete a BFA in photography from Parsons the New School. Her background came from still imagery in editorial work with a documentary eye. Upon moving away from NY in 2015 her work moved deeper into fine arts, weaving in performance, and mixed media digital pieces that sought to question the public and private. While living and doing a diploma at the Fine Art Academy of Vienna, in the class of Art and Digital Media, Djoana dived into film theory, the use of the archive, and the feminist aesthetics of cinema. This led to a Masters in Fine Arts with a focus in Film at Malmo Art Academy where the discipline branched out into sculptural installation with the need to further transport the viewer into the film works.

Djoana now lives in-between Malmö-CPH, Vienna, and  NY creating wherever her reasearch and your invitation is next.
