Sara Perovic
BIO
Sara Perović (1984) is an italian-croatian artist working with photography whose work explores memory, repetition, and identity through deeply intimate stories. Drawing on her own experiences, she blends abstraction with emotional introspection to examine how private moments shape perception. Her projects, including My Memories Yours (2019), My Father’s Legs (2020), and TWO (2024), use metaphor, texture, and visual rhythm to navigate themes of mind, archive, family, and human connection. Her book My Father’s Legs was shortlisted for the Les Rencontres d’Arles Prix du Livre d’Auteur and the Aperture/Paris Photo First Book Award. She is also the founder of aTree, a fanzine that supports emerging photographers, which is included in the MoMA Library in New York. She lives and works in Berlin.
