Aesthetics of Transgression and its Strategies in Post-Yugoslav Art offers an insight into contemporary art practice and image production within post-traumatic culture and post-socialist condition in former Yugoslavia. A theoretical position is established through a reconsideration of the category of the aesthetic and the notion of transgression as a continuous movement in-between contradictions that characterize this borderline condition, as well as our encounter with images and among images. The research entails contextual consideration, theoretical articulation and practical curatorial engagement in the context of former Yugoslavia. Particular focus is on photographic practices at the crossing between aesthetic and documentary realm. Defined as cultural symptomatology, these practices are analyzed around the concept of the symptom as it travels across the fields of cultural psychoanalysis and critical theory, visual studies and art history, trauma theory and theory of photography.
