Velibor Božović explores how images influence memory and what role they play in the space where the historical, the fictional and the personal interrelate.
Božović grew up in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina. When he was in his twenties, the country of his youth turned into a war zone and he spent the duration of the siege of Sarajevo honing his survival skills. In 1998, Božović moved to Montreal where, for eight years, he worked as an engineer in the aerospace industry before devoting his time fully to image creation. He completed both his BFA and MFA degrees at Concordia University.
His work has been exhibited internationally. In 2015 he was awarded the Claudine and Stephen Bronfman Fellowship in Contemporary Art.
