Slobodan Pajic (born 1943) is a visual artist who uses a variety of media (primarily video, laser light, photography, film, sound) in his plastic research.
Born August 16, 1943, in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Slobodan Pajic arrived in Paris in 1966 to study art history at the Sorbonne but was soon prompted to reorient himself to his own painting.
(Dany Bloch) The new Centre Georges Pompidou, in Paris, lent their post-production facilities for a compilation of these short films, Untitled 76: Destruction of Sound and Image, and provided some of the first showings.
(Moisdon) Untitled 77 : Passage From Closed To Open Space, an abstract film in saturated color, continues to occupy a unique position in the history of video art.
In 1980, after a stay in New York, and a year of travel throughout Europe, Pajic settled into a new studio in Paris and began a series of installation pieces employing video screens and projections.
To the sound of a rocket launcher called Stalin’s Organ, images of war on 16 mm film decomposed motion and imprinted a prepared video screen, then abruptly disappeared, leaving the after-image to slowly fade in silence.
