All Miljena does revolves around Space. Various projects - theatre plays, performances, movies, music videos, corporate events, theoretical studies, spatial interventions and installations, photography, exhibition design, etc. As an experiential designer and an entertainment industry professional, she connects fields of set design and (creative) production. She is vice president of “Scenatoria” - Organisation that deals with officially protected, in reality abandoned and neglected built heritage through “staging” arts in those spaces and education about these fields - walks, publications, workshops, etc. This sparked curiosity about mixed forms - performance with video projections, VR and MR in site-specific productions. Her particular interest and experience is in production of cultural events and site-specific spatial interventions in urban and heritage locations, and in the topics like presentation of space and space as context of presentation, mutual influence of people, space and stories, connecting past and present through cultural activities, historical locations / heritage activation and interpretation, improvement and interpretation of city through art in public / open spaces, and related; She enjoys working manually and exploring materials, finding new and unexpected uses for already existing objects. She considers continues education crucial and often participates in conferences, talks, exhibitions, etc. as author, speaker, participant or organiser.

The phrase "by design" means that something is done on purpose, intentionally, or according to a plan, rather than by accident or pure luck. - google ai overview Space around us teaches us a lot from a very early age, it defines how we move, how we feel, what one can or can not do, and many many more .. including what we accept and expect to experience. Spaces change through time, and that changes can be various - maintenance, improvement, upgrade, demolishing.. or small changes that seemingly don’t do and influence much, that are mainly quick fixes, easiest solutions. On the other side, an interesting point of view for me as an author is that subtle line, fluid and permeable border after which things just stay “as they are”, and their influence as they grow biger and larger in number. This series shows some of these objects in built space, all taken in various institutions (cultural, educational, protected and renovated monument facade) that just stop fighting to improve their own general condition, showing some kind of surrender.
