TITLE: Dive no. 2

AUTHOR: Mario Županović (Croatia)

I am a professor of film studies at University of Zadar. Got my PhD in 2015, and in 2018 published a monograph "Latin American Cinema and Identities". I am a co-founder and artistic director of the independent cinematheque "Kino Zona" in Zadar, Croatia. I made numerous artistic projects mainly in performance and theater from 2002-2010. I begin to photograph mainly architectural spaces in 2020. I've curated an activist group project ""Neglected spaces" with six photographers with final exhibition presented at People's Museum Zadar, Croatia in 2020. From 2022 I am working on a ongoing photographic project "Other spaces" where I reinterpret the spaces that I frequently visit, like university campus, local store, industrial building etc.
