Exploring the connections and limitations of humans with technology, Marija Bozinovska Jones walks us through the objects and spaces that inspire her collaborative work.
London-based artist Marija Bozinovska Jones’ practice reaches beyond language. In her work Beginningless Mind, Bozinovska Jones interacts with plants – thinking with and through them to engage the sense of taste – to reimagine intelligence and knowledge as embodied experiences. Here, we learn more about her mind-melting experiments in interconnectedness as she invites us into her home, studio and recent exhibition.
