Ljubodrag Andric on view at Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Venice, Italy

Ljubodrag Andric: Spazi, soglie, luci (Spaces, Thresholds, Light) is on view at Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Palazzo Cini, Venice, Italy from April 17 to September 8, 2025. THe exhibition coincides with the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia and explores Ljubodrag Andric’s photographic investigation of space and architecture. His work transcends objective reality, blending abstraction and materiality. Each image, tied to a specific location, evokes an immaterial, contemplative dimension.

Presented at Palazzo Cini in Venice, the exhibition features 16 works that connect Andric’s travels in India (2021–2024) with his residency at Fondazione Giorgio Cini, tracing visual resonances between Italian and Indian architecture.

The exhibition fosters a dialogue between Venice’s history and India’s intimate spaces, using light and shadow to render architectural structures as spatial and luminous essences, inviting expanded sensory awareness. Through a refined study of light, reflection, color, and texture, the artist constructs images imbued with mystery.

For over thirty years, Ljubodrag Andric’s work has focused on recontextualizing the urban landscape. He was born in Belgrade in 1965 to a family of artists: his mother was an actress, his father a writer, and his brother a painter. Andric began concentrating on photography at the age of sixteen. In 1988, while studying literature in Belgrade, he held his first exhibition at the Modern Art Gallery in Belgrade, addressing the relationship between space and architecture, a theme central to his visual exploration. In 2002, Andric relocated to Toronto, where he currently lives and works. In 2005, re-nationalized as a Canadian citizen.

Ljubodrag Andric’s work has been exhibited at Chaumont-Photo-sur-Loire, France (2023-2024); the Museum of Fine Arts in Le Locle, Switzerland (2017); the Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice (2016); and the Triennale di Milano (2016), among others. In 2016, Skira published Ljubodrag Andric: Works 2008-2016.
