Ivo Lovric’s video essay Ghost Wars: the politics of war commemoration focuses on the Australian War Memorial. It contrasts official commemorative practices and interpretations of the Australian experience of war with his own reading of the wartime past, which reflects on the experiences of Indigenous Australians, women, socialists and pacifists, who are often under-represented by the Memorial’s discourse.
Ivo Lovric graduated from the ANU School of Art in 2012 with a Doctor of Philosophy. As part of his arts practice Ivo employs digital techniques such as computer animation in conjunction with film and video to produce works that agitate for social and political change.
