Nevena Lukic
Nevena Lukic (b.1983, Belgrade, Serbia) is an architect, landscape architect, artist and analogue photographer currently based in London - although her work involves frequent travel. She enjoys photographing new settings, capturing landscapes, places, people and ultimately fleeting, ephemeral moments.
Nevena almost exclusively uses an analogue camera that originally belonged to her father-in-law, and which she considers to be her lucky charm. She likes to believe that through the embodied memory some of his sensibilities shine through and inform her shots. Taking family photos evokes her own childhood, and helps her to remember the sounds and smells she thought were long forgotten.
Having lived a nomadic life for some time now, Nevena embraces the transitory nature of life. She moves, changes countries, and leaves people behind. Her memories are too scattered, her identity too geographically fragmented. However, she believes that the true art of living is in accepting change as an integral part of life, and learning from each and every experience. In the words of Proust: “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes”.
