Lives and works in Berlin.
At the core of Jovan Turčinović’s work lies the gesture itself: intimate, nearly invisible actions that operate as a form of silent performance. These gestures are not about spectacle but connection — between himself and others, or between objects and space. He finalizes his work through installations, sculptures, and sound, leaving it open for viewers to reshape its meaning. He warms a cup holder with a USB heater, collects bed sheets to hold a door open, scans traces of an old doormat, or turns off lights in the exhibition space — these small gestures carry emotional weight, allowing objects, people, and architecture to meet differently and to slip out of their expected roles.
Working with materials that are worn, touched, traveled, or even untouched yet full of potential, Jovan recontextualizes objects not to dominate space, but to let them activate it. His practice blends void with trace, memory, and atmosphere. He aims to reduce cognitive load and distractions, leaving space for imagination and potential. He is drawn to what barely exists yet alters everything around it — the quiet moment, the understated act, the thought you could almost miss.
