Pavle Mijuca (Belgrade, *1999) is an artist whose work explores the power dynamics embedded in urban planning and architecture. Through research-based, role-driven performances, he inhabits personas such as tour guides, architects, and real estate developers to expose the narratives that shape contemporary urban development. Merging performance with object-making, he produces construction hoardings and promotional displays that blur the line between the plausible and the absurd, employing satire and confabulation to unravel the contradictions that structure the built environment. He lives and works in Amsterdam.
