Bio

Vladimir Nikolić (b. 1974, Belgrade) is an artist working across video, film and photography. His practice examines the relationship between image, power, and perception — exploring how visual regimes shape political, historical, and technological realities. Over the past two decades, his work has evolved from institutional critique and the analysis of ritual authority toward investigations of optics, spatial reconstruction, and the transformation of reality through imaging technologies.

His works are held in international public and private collections, including the Centre Pompidou (Paris), MAXXI – National Museum of 21st Century Arts (Rome), FRAC Poitou-Charentes (France), the Museum of Contemporary Art Belgrade, the Museum of Yugoslavia (Belgrade), the Museum of the City of Belgrade, the Berardo Collection Museum (Lisbon), and the Vehbi Koç Foundation Contemporary Art Collection (Istanbul), among others.

He has participated in international residency programs such as IASPIS (Stockholm), Times Museum (Guangzhou), Tobačna 001 (Ljubljana), Recollets (Paris) and Foundation for a Civil Society (New York). He is the recipient of the Dimitrije Bašićević Mangelos Award for the best young visual artist in Serbia in 2003 and multiple awards at the 50th October Salon in Belgrade.

Nikolić holds a PhD in Arts from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade, where he is currently Associate Professor at the Department of New Media.
