Jelena Micic: Bojna polja

Bojna polja is a multilayered art book that radically questions our consumption-driven world. In the interplay between artistic abstraction and social critique, Jelena Micic demonstrates how everyday materials-from plastic packaging to remnants of industrial mass production-develop their own language in striking installations. Featuring contributions by renowned authors such as Elke Krasny, Dejan Vasic, Lorena Tabares Salamanca, and Kristin Romberg, and a conversation with Heather Davis the creative process is unveiled as a mirror reflecting societal labor, consumption, and environmental challenges. Bojna polja invites readers to discover the transformation of waste into a form of artistic subversion, opening up a critical discourse on the inextricable links between body, capital, and ecology. This book serves as a provocative exploration of how art, as a political act, can contribute to emancipation in a world marked by industrial overproduction and ecological crisis.
