Yugoslavia
Biography :
"Zoran Popović (1944, Belgrade) is one of the principal artists of New Art Practice in former Yugoslavia. He was part of the informal group of artists gathered around the Students' Cultural Centre in Belgrade in the 1970s. The group included, alongside Popović, Marina Abramović, Era Milivojević, Gergelj Urkom, Neša Paripović and Raša Todosijević.
Popović started working in the media of video in 1966. The film Glava/Krug (1968/1969) has a premise of making a complete and comprehensive portrayal of an object (head), movement (of the head around its axis) and all the shapes on the object as a two-dimensional image. It was intended to be projected simultaneously on eight projectors on a loop."
