Utilizing the techniques of bricolage, improvisation and repurposing, his works deal with the notion of artistic ecologies, utopia and speculative histories. By intervening on found objects such as old postcards and documentary photographs, mostly found on flea markets or rescued from garbage, Marko Tadić’s works give form to openfictional narratives focused on various interpretations. He often uses documentary photographs as a background for questioning the present moment locally characterized by post-socialist and post-social condition that has rapidly devastated the spaces of socializationand commons in the urban fabric for the benefit of uncompromising capitalist growth and neglect of the environment. Tadić is constructing his artistic narratives around the issues of modernist heritage, reinterpretation of history, and its traces in everyday life. His works, most often oscilatingbetween painting, object, collage, photography, drawing, and installation, simultaneously combine sound, image, and drawing, as well as found, reprocessed, or crafted objects.
