MILOJE SAVIC
Concretopia

Concretopia is a personal journey through a concrete utopia, combining the double meaning of the word concrete, referring to both the material and the idea, in this case the utopia of the socialist state of the former Yugoslavia revisited through its architecture.
Concretopia aims at exploring the multifaceted legacy of the socialist architecture in Belgrade, and is articulated in the diary of a generation that crosses time, space, urban landscapes and the whole political experience.
The socialist architecture of Yugoslavia has outlived its country. However, the legacy and its position on today’s urban, cultural, and political maps are constantly changing.
I have revisited and recreated parts of my own Concretopia that took place in the spaces where my friends and I used to live outlining my personal vision through the synthesis of the aesthetics of the socialist architecture and the vivid memories that chronicle the first 28 years of my life in Belgrade.

Author
Miloje Savić (b. 1977, Belgrade, Serbia) is a lens-based artist working across photography, collage, and mixed-media installation. With a background in life sciences and a Master’s degree in Arts, Photography and Design from ELISAVA’s SHIFTA School for Digital Creators (Barcelona, 2021–2022), Savić brings a multidisciplinary lens to his practice.
Rooted in both documentary and fine art traditions, his work engages deeply with pressing social and political issues – from environmental degradation and waste management to the appropriation and recontextualization of personal and collective memory. His distinctive visual language blends portraiture and still life with textured collage and conceptual installation to construct thought-provoking narratives around identity, transformation, and sustainability.
