Lana Mesic (b. 1987, Yugoslavia) is an artist living and working in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
With a Bachelor's and Master's in Photography from AKV|St. Joost in Breda (2010 and 2012), she
has long been drawn to the strange, invisible forces that shape our everyday lives. At the core of
her practice lies a fascination with how we—both individually and collectively—fill in the gaps of
what we cannot see.
A visual artist with a transdisciplinary approach, Mesic moves seamlessly between photography,
sculpture, assemblage, video, books, and social interventions in the public realm. Her work
navigates the transience and chaos of this world, skillfully blending urgent social issues with
personal experience to reflect the often turbulent state of contemporary society. At times, her
practice engages with the current zeitgeist; at others, it veers into anachronism, digging deep into
social, psychological, and ethical dilemmas that transcend time.
Mesic’s process is rooted in observation, analysis, and collection—followed by playful yet critical
responses. This thoughtful method allows her to address complex social and political issues while
maintaining a mischievous, engaging tone that reflects her trickster spirit. By provoking reflection
through humor and subtle interventions, she creates space for viewers to reconsider the
conventions that shape their world.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, and each exhibition is a source of immense pride and
gratitude. Her pieces reside in both private and public collections, and she has been honored with
various nominations, awards, residencies, and grants. Yet, listing them all here feels like a strange
art-world ritual—one that says little about her practice. However, if you’re truly curious, she’ll
happily share the specifics. Ultimately, Mesic is a playful adventurer in both the physical and conceptual realms.
Her work is precise yet unpredictable, bold yet introspective, as she continually explores how we, as
individuals, navigate the visible and invisible forces that govern our lives.
The main departure point of Mesić’s work is the minds constant struggle in dealing with things that do not have an image. She is curious how our mind (subjectively or collectively) fills in these visual gaps. The trickster archetype, as described by Carl Jung, is the symbolic figure who re- veals truth through mischief. He employs and enjoys jokes and pranks, which are his weapons to penetrate the stale-mate of the daily existence. He brings meaning to the meaningless, reveals the truth behind collective symbols while simultaneously demystifying collective conventions.
Lana’s outmost pleasure in making art is being mischievous. By doing so, she feels she can create space for herself to demon- strate the changeability of the conventions that often define our everyday experience. Transforming everyday objects and conventional settings through trickery provokes engagement, which is both con- fronting and delighting.

photography. She holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Photography from AKV | St. Joost in Breda, The Netherlands, where she graduated in 2010 and 2012, respectively.
Her artistic foundation is steeped in a profound inquiry into the unseen and intangible elements of life. Growing up as a Yugoslavian—a native of a country that no longer exists—has profoundly shaped her curiosity, pushing her to explore the ungraspable, the unrepresentable, and the impermanent. This unique perspective drives her exploration of the invisible forces that influence human existence and perception, as she delves into the mind’s efforts to make sense of what cannot be fully captured. Mesic’s work reflects on how both individuals and societies fill the voids in perception through subjective and collective visualization.
Her practice is expansive and versatile, spanning photography, sculpture, video, and public interventions, establishing a transdisciplinary approach to art. With a playful mix of humor, critical inquiry, and an investigative spirit, Mesic examines complex social, psychological, and ethical themes that resonate with contemporary concerns and timeless human experiences. Her work invites audiences to reflect on societal norms and shared beliefs, often using lighthearted touches that create a welcoming space for deep contemplation and questioning.
Lana Mesic’s practice has garnered extensive recognition through exhibitions at prominent institutions, art fairs, and museums around the world, enhancing her visibility and market position. Her work has been showcased in various countries, including the Netherlands, Germany, Serbia, France, Switzerland, Japan, and the United States, significantly elevating her international profile. Key exhibitions have included Museum Arnhem, the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, and the Van Abbemuseum, positioning her firmly within established institutional settings. These museum exhibitions, along with displays at venues such as Het Nutshuis in The Hague, AMC Gallery in Amsterdam, the Sao Paulo Photography Biennial, and Organ Vida Festival in Zagreb, have added to her reputation as a well-regarded artist. Mesic’s work has also been seen internationally at the Dong Gang Photography Festival in South Korea and the Nichido Arts Centre in Tokyo, among others, further underscoring her cross-cultural appeal. Her artistic accomplishments have been recognized by prestigious awards and residencies, with recent support from the Mondriaan Fund’s Stipendium for Established Artists. Additionally, Mesic has participated in the Unseen/Grolsch Residency in London and has earned various other nominations, underscoring her rising profile in the global art community.
Lana Mesic's career has been recognized through numerous awards, nominations, and grants that underscore her impact and promise within the art world. Notable among her accolades is the Stipendium for Established Artists from the Mondriaan Fund, a prestigious recognition supporting her ongoing artistic endeavors. She was longlisted for the Prix de Rome in 2017, one of the Netherlands' most esteemed art awards, and has also won the Kracht van Rotterdam in 2015, reflecting her strong connection to her adopted city. Other significant acknowledgments include nominations for the Dutch Doc Award and The New Talent Photography Award by ING, as well as grants from foundations such as the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds and the Stichting Schiedams Water. These honors, spanning over a decade, highlight Mesic's creative versatility and her capacity to engage thoughtfully with complex social issues through her art.
The inclusion of Mesic's work in both private and public collections further consolidates her standing in the art world. Her work is featured in various institutional collections, including the AMC and the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) in The Netherlands, where it was part of the “ACQUISITIONS 2020-2022” exhibition. This inclusion marks a significant endorsement from an educational institution, highlighting the academic and intellectual value attributed to her work.
