Timotic

1992

Aleksandar Timotic (*1992) is an opera singer and performer artist. Aleksandar was born in Serbia where he started his music education. Aleksandar finished his masters studies at the prestigious “Folkwang university of arts” in Essen, Germany by professor Martin Wölfel. Aleksandar’s soft, round alto-coloured voice allows him to sing a wide repertoire from baroque to modern music.. He has performed in different theaters until now (Theatre Lübeck "Tolomeo", G.F. Handel 2020 , Bayerische Staatsoper “Nose” D.Shostakovich 2022/24, etc.). At “Folkwang University of Arts” Aleksandar studied performance art under Marina Abramovic, through her mentorship he created the piece “Are you hungry ?” “In this performance, I invite the public to peel potatoes with me. I also sing traditional folk songs, which carry so much tragedy in self-destructive love. Music and food are the only two spaces where emotions are allowed in my country”. This piece was first performed in the Folkwang Museum in Essen (2023) and later in Southbank Center in London (2023) as a part of “Marina Abramovic Institute”. Aleksandar reinterpreted the "Potato Opera '' by Fluxus artist Henning Christiansen from 1969 at the museum “Moyland” (2024). Aleksandar loves to express different forms of art in his work, especially through music and long durational activities, as well as interaction with the audience. Aleksandar finds a lot of inspiration for his work in the Balkan culture. Aleksandar will perform in Asia for the first time in 2024 in the Indonesian festival “Indonesia Bertutur” 2024 and prestigious “Bangkok Art Biennale”
