Nowhere Somewhere – A Hauntingly Beautiful Exploration of Identity in a Disrupted World. An exhibition of cinematic photography by Vanja Dimitrova, a Macedonian-born filmmaker and visual artist, based in Amsterdam.
The exhibition showcases large-scale photographs that blend cinematic imagery with immersive narrative, merging scenes of reality and fantasy that invite viewers to reimagine the artworks, where each image unfolds a new story.
Nowhere Somewhere is a haunting exploration of identity, connection, and resilience, while emphasizing the deep connection between humanity and nature.
Captured in a dreamlike surrealist style, Dimitrova’s subjects embody the tension of being simultaneously anchored and adrift, caught in an undefined somewhere while conceptually hinting at a possible nowhere, thus emphasizing the inherent ambiguity of time, place, and story.
Curator Natali Rajcinovska Pavleska describes her work as a “deconstructed film book,” prompting viewers to reflect deeply and see reality through a cinematic lens.
Dimitrova’s photography celebrates the beauty and alienation of contemporary life, serving as an act of resistance and a source of hope.
These photographs linger in the mind, asking bold questions rather than providing answers.
Vanja Dimitrova's artistic journey, inspired by her rich cultural background, reflects her distinctive vision and experimental approach. A graduate of the Audiovisual Department at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and Master of Fine Arts at the Sandberg Instituut.
Her award-winning films, including Alone Together, Locked Storms, and Absence, have resonated at international festivals, showcasing her unique voice, which continues to push boundaries in the art world.
While her art frequently appears in international group exhibitions, her unique vision truly shines in her solo shows. These include Nowhere Somewhere at the Museum of the City of Skopje, Replace at LAB111 in Amsterdam, and her exciting upcoming solo exhibition at Gallery MC in New York.
