This thesis takes the work of Neli Ružić, a multimedia artist from Split who is an active participant of its art scene, as its prime focus. One important segment of her deeply thought-out artistic practice, which relates to the theme of the relationship and intertwining of personal and collective remembrance, in other words, memory and official versions of history, is used as the prism through which the artist’s work is observed in this thesis. Biographical data important for the comprehension of the thesis are mentioned, out of which the artist’s departure to Mexico in the late nineties and her return to Split in 2012 stand out the most; the experience of migration that has greatly impacted the work of Neli Ružić. Furthermore, thematic determinants and characteristics of the artistic work are listed. In the main part of the thesis, artist’s works, in which the topic of personal and collective memory is expressed or problematized in a concrete way, are presented. Selected artworks manifest through mediums of installation, object, photography, video installation and intervention in public space. This thesis covers almost thirty pieces by Neli Ružić, and its main part is presented throughout ten sub-chapters which describe twelve separate arts (Black flags, Before Dawn, Family Archive, Behind the Door, Breaths (20th Century), Passport, Snow, Songs for the Future, Snow Red, Reproductive System, Third Time, Stolen Future), predominantly of recent production.
