Nika Radić has often moved between different contexts. She has lived in several countries and worked both practically and theoretically with visual arts. Her personal experience led to her professional interest in communication that she pursued through a wide range of media.
Several years ago, during her research about how different disciplines treat the communication challenges, she has encountered the work of the psychiatrist Milton Erickson and the way he employed hypnosis in therapy. Hypnotism is a way of communicating directly with the subconscious and Erickson structured it in a way that closely resembles how an artwork functions as a communication medium. Radić used hypnosis both as the structure to a series of her works and also directly as part of her practice. In a recent series of performances in which she hypnotized a number of people to see a future that they would like to live in, it turned out that the majority saw green environments as their vision of a positive future. This led to her current interest in plants.
