Paula Tončić (Zagreb, 1997) is an artist whose artistic and research practice is grounded in processes of archiving, classifying, and documenting uncanny objects. Through grotesque elements, she explores the boundaries between reality and fiction, with a particular focus on girlhood experience within the context of the feminine gaze and spaces of female intimacy. Strongly influenced by fiction literature and trash horror cinema, her work is marked by a fascination with liminal spaces and the transformation of materials from one medium into another.
