Sema Bekirovic (1977, Amsterdam, NL) is an artist and curator. In her work she questions perceived hierarchies by revealing the underlying dynamic interplay of powers and actors. She has made works using reactive chemicals and meteorites, and has collaborated with animals and natural forces.
In her recent work Bekirovic focuses on how events resonate through time. In these works, her approach is both object oriented and personal. In 2023 she finished her first feature film, Once and Alien, an autobiographical science-fictional documentary about trauma and time travel.
Bekirovic studied at the Rijksakademie and at the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. Selected exhibitions include: Rozenstraat (a rose is a rose is a rose), Amsterdam, NL (solo, 2023), Hosting Bodies Sanatorium, Istanbul, TK, 2021 In To Nature Biennale, Bargerveen, NL, 2021 Brugge Triennale, Brugge BE (2021), Dialogfelder, Chemnitz DE (2020), Gemeente Museum Den Haag, NL (2019) Marres, Maastricht, NL (2017), Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam NL (2016), Stigter van Doesburg, Amsterdam NL, (2015), Centquatre-Paris, FR (2015); Chong Quing AIR, Chong Quing, CN (2014), Recontres d’Arles, Arles FR (2014), Jan Cunen Museum, Oss, NL (2013); Hayward Gallery Project space, London, UK (2010)
And curated projects such as, Reading by Osmosis, Zone2Source, Amsterdam (2020), Wildlife performance cafe, Goleb, Amsterdam, (2018). BYOB residency, Peyremorte, FR (2018) The Best Of Bees, Duplex Geneva (2017), Superposition, Momart, Amsterdam (2014). She also irregularly lectures at different art academies in The Netherlands and abroad.
“Bekirovic’s work is best described as playful conceptualism. Like reality, it’s a universe of temporary constellations wherein objects, people, animals and/or chemical reactions trigger one another into acting out their parts in a play directed by coincidence. Bekirovic creates a field of tension between the parameters she defines and her subject’s personal agenda. She eschews a hands-on, interfering approach, allowing her subject to co-author the work.”
