List of photobooks by photographer Jurisic, Dragana
Dragana Jurisic is an Croatia-born (former Yugoslavia) artist based in Ireland.
« The story of me as a photographer begins on the day when our family apartment got burned down together with thousands of prints and negatives my father, an ardent amateur photographer, had accumulated. »
Dragana's work is mainly along two axes: memory, and the body and the representation of the female body. One of her artwork called "Tarantula" has entered the collections of the Irish National Gallery. She has received numerous awards, and has developed projects within several residencies, the latest in 2019 at the landmark 14 Henrietta Street building in Dublin.
She has published two photobooks: "YU: The Lost Country" (Oonagh Young Gallery, 2015) and "Museum" (Dublin City Council, 2019), the latter as a collaboration with poet Paula Meehan.
