Sheʼs more obsessed than Dahmer, sheʼs more calculated than Bundy, and certainly more faceless than Bateman, 2017
Darja Bajagić (f. 1990 i Podgorica, Montenegro) vokste opp i Egypt og USA. Hun er for tiden basert i Chicago, Illinois, og Bogišići, Montenegro.
Bajagić konfronterer oss med utfordrende uro ved å skape verk som er vanskelige å se bort fra og glemme. Ved å inkorporere og kontrastere vestlige skjønnhetsidealer med bilder hentet fra fan-gore, true crime og dark web-kilder som viser voldshandlinger, nasjonalistiske undergrunnsbevegelser, religiøs ikonografi og symbolikk, forsterker hun kulturelle tendenser mot brutalitet, perversjon og ekstremisme—og utforsker moderne moralisme og teorier om ondskap. De mest urovekkende aspektene ved hennes praksis ligger kanskje ikke i det nekromantiske approprierte innholdet, men heller i den disiplinerte tilbakeholdenheten som hun samler de mørkeste tilbøyelighetene med uten verken referanseramme eller entydig tolkning.
Bajagić mottok en MFA fra Yale University i 2014. Utvalgte separatutstillinger og duo-utstillinger inkluderer: Forest Passage, Downs & Ross, New York (2022), Crucio, November Gallery, Beograd (2022), Goregeous, Le Confort Moderne, Poitiers (2020), Transfiguration, New Galerie, Paris (2019), Born Losers, Hessel Museum of Art, Annandale-On-Hudson, USA (2018), Unlimited Hate, Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien (KM–), Graz (2016).
