Braco Dimitrijević

Slobodan  Dimitrijević is a Bosnian conceptual artist who focuses on history and the individual's role in it. He currently lives and works in Paris, France, and has exhibited his work internationally since the 1970s, including at the Tate Gallery in 1985. Dimitrijević has also participated in documenta and the Venice Biennale, and his works are held in the collections of major institutions such as the Tate Gallery, MoMA, and the Centre Pompidou.

Born in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, FPR Yugoslavia, on 18 June 1948, Dimitrijević's father was Vojo Dimitrijević, a prominent Yugoslavian painter. Dimitrijević started painting at a young age and produced his first conceptual work in 1963. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 1971 and continued his studies at Saint Martin's School of Art in London from 1971 to 1973.

One of Dimitrijević's most notable works is the Casual Passer-by series, which features close-up photographic portraits of everyday people hung on buildings and billboards in different cities in Europe and America. He also produced memorial plaques in honor of other people he met. In addition, Dimitrijević's work in the 1980s joined animals with works of art, which became an exhibition at the Paris Zoo in 1998, attracting over a million visitors.

Dimitrijević's current work includes Triptychos Post Historicus installations, which feature paintings by old or modern masters alongside everyday objects and fruits/vegetables. Over 500 of these installations exist, and controversy arose when a man who visited the exhibition at the Tate realized that the paintings were not copies but originals and reported this to The Times.
