Studied sculpture, graduating in 1992 from the Faculty of Applied Arts and Design in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. From 1992 to 1994 studied at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest.

She has participated in numerous exhibitions in Croatia and abroad, the most significant ones being: Documenta 11 (Kassel, Germany, 2002), Manifesta 4 (Frankfurt/Main, Germany, 2002),[2] 8th International Istanbul Biennial (Turkey, 2003), The American Effect at Whitney Museum of American Art (New York, 2003), Liverpool Biennial (UK, 2004) and Day Labor at P.S.1 (New York, 2005).
