Temra Pavlović is an artist and filmmaker based in Amsterdam. Her work stages crises of subjectivity, asking what emerges in the loss of picturing the self, the body, the world. She explores how meaning-making takes shape across sensory experience and abstraction, treating form itself as generative of thought, and language as a life-form — a dissipative system, a whirlwind.

She holds a BFA in Film/Video from CalArts, with a focus on experimental documentary, and rMA in Media Studies from the University of Amsterdam, with research bringing philosophy and aesthetics in dialogue with science and computation — to unsettle the sovereignty of perception.

Recent solo shows and presentations include Tail Cuts at Bologna cc in Amsterdam, In the Seams for 'Elipsis, folds of Memory' at Historical Museum Sarajevo.

She is currently developing two films: a documentary co-directed with her brother Stefan Pavlović that negotiates memory, inheritance, and shared space — sometimes through speech, sometimes through film language — produced by Basalt Film and artTrace (Netherlands); and Bifurcaria Bifurcata, an experimental film that follows the form of marine ‘understory forests’ shaped by a perpetually splitting seaweed, tracing where figures of womanhood threaten to split the world open.

She curates Between Film and Art at the Eastern Neighbours Film Festival, a program dedicated to experimental and artist-driven cinema.
