Pavle Mijuca (1999, Belgrade) is an artist whose work explores the power dynamics embedded in urban planning and architecture. Through research-based, role-driven performances, he inhabits personas such as tour guides, architects, and real estate developers to tackle the narratives that shape contemporary urban development. These personas, often based on method acting and self-referential play, unfold across formats such as lecture-performances, guided tours, and staged media presentations. Merging performance with object-making, he produces construction hoardings and promotional displays that blur the line between the plausible and the absurd, employing satire and confabulation to unravel the contradictions that structure the built environment.

He holds a BFA from Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) and is a graduate of the Studio for Immediate Spaces at the Sandberg Instituut. In 2025, he was awarded the Golden Watermelon 9.0 Young Artist Award by the Metamedia Association in Pula, Croatia. He lives and works in Amsterdam.

Pavle Mijuca's residency was organised through our exchange program with Slobodne Veze/ Motel Trogir Project.
