Andrea PALASTI

客員研究員

2025/12

I am an artist, curator, learner and teacher, slipping in and out of various roles. Depending on the situation, I might appear as a more-than-human fitness trainer, a misleading tourist guide, a dilettante freshwater ecologist, an ignorant artist-teacher, a para-zoologist, a passionate archival researcher, or a self-proclaimed expert on Dalmatian pyrethrum. My work moves through minor histories and displaced knowledge, peripheral ecologies, and the aesthetics of historiography.

My current ongoing project, The Killer Chrysanthemum is a transdisciplinary study of the Dalmatian pyrethrum—once considered the deadliest flower in the insect world. Grounded in an inquiry into more-than-human histories, biopolitics, and the ecological imaginaries of (post-)extractive landscapes, the project moves between history, science, critical theory, and artistic research to reflect on what it means to live—and take life—within shared multispecies environments. I am developing this research in close collaboration with my partner, Daniel Popovic.

I hold an MA in Photography from the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad and a PhD in Art and Media Theory from the University of Arts in Belgrade, Serbia. Since 2016, I have been an associate professor at the Academy of Arts, University of Novi Sad. Currently, I am a Canon Foundation in Europe Visiting Research Fellow at the Graduate School of Global Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts.
