 The exhibition “The Secret Life of Things” consists of sixteen illustrations (four of these are digitally enhanced photographs) and one animation that show the artist’s interest in bringing household object to life. The works in the exhibition are characterized as humorous with strong narrative and attention to details. Savić’s ideas are honed by traditional education with contemporary influences.
