Predrag Marsenić, Montenegro

Predrag Marsenić is an student of master studies, researcher, and interdisciplinary artist who explores the fundamental boundaries of space, meaning, and perception through various mediums. His work in architecture, music, photography, and literature is driven by the same idea—reduction to the essential, to absolute values, to the bare essence of phenomena. In architecture, Marsenić explores nihilistic, primordial, and non-referential/self-referential architecture—concepts that reject context, function, and aesthetics in favor of a spatial manifestation that does not narrate but confronts.Through terminological deconstruction, reduction of architectural elements, and a metaphysical reevaluation of architecture, his work questions what remains when function, symbolism, and subjective perception are stripped away. His music, under the artistic name NENAD, reflect the same nihilistic principle present in his architecture—an absence of narrative, minimalism in expression, a confrontation with emptiness, and a systematic rejection of the superfluous.

His photography is duotone—black and gray. His work does not explore thematic darkness but rather visual reduction—the elimination of subjective color perception and the reduction of the image to absolute values of light and darkness, without color dependent on the human visual apparatus. Through this approach, photography becomes a pure fact of light, just as architecture becomes a pure fact of space.

His theoretical texts connect architecture with existentialism and nihilism, while the scenes he describes are photogenic, static, yet heavy—spaces with their own weight, their own presence.

He is trying to redefine space and its contextuality and meaning throught AI image generation. In his prompt driven creations, under the artist name Osama (Montenegrin for “isolation”) he creates landscapes with structures which create a feeling of foreboding, fear, isolation and alienation, which ties into his core architectural values that fuel his wide spectrum of creativity and creation.

Through all these disciplines—architecture, music, photography, and literature—a common thread runs: redefining perception, rejecting the redundant, negating sentimentality, and confronting space in its raw, unfiltered form.
