Bogomir Doringer

Artist, researcher and curator Bogomir Doringer was born and raised in Yugoslavia (now known as Serbia). After his initial studies in Sociology in Belgrade, Bogomir went on to receive his Bachelor’s degree from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam and a Master of Film from the Netherlands Film Academy.

He has been nominated twice for the ‘Venice Biennale – La Biennale di Venezia’ to represent Serbia with his project Hospitality. This project dealt with (ex)military personnel (NATO/UN) who, upon returning from war missions, experienced health problems and premature death due to the rapid growth of lymphoma and lung cancer. Between 2012-2015 Bogomir curated an international series of exhibitions and events tackling the social meaning of the personal image under the title ‘FACELESS’. The project was inspired by his interest in the recurring presence of hidden faces in contemporary society after September 11th. Following this project, he began a yearly collaboration and production of exhibitions and symposiums with the CPDP-Computer Privacy and Data Protection Conferences in Brussels, a non-profit platform originally founded in 2007 by research groups from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, the Université de Namur and Tilburg University.

In 2017 Bogomir was awarded the 3Package Deal with his project “I Dance Alone”, for top talent by the ‘Amsterdam Funds for Art’, The Netherlands Film Academy, EYE Film Institute Museum and IDFA doc lab.
