Lisa Jahovic (b. 1985) is a London-based multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, film, and photography. Her practice is grounded in anthropomorphism, casting everyday objects as protagonists to animate the inanimate and generate subtle, often poetic narratives. Through a performative approach to image-making, she transforms the mundane into charged symbolic forms, creating unexpected dialogues around memory, identity, and perception.

‘’ I remember building a volcano at school when I was about seven, melting down boxes of old crayons the teachers were throwing away over the course of a week. I didn’t understand why I was so obsessed with making it at the time, but I still remember the strange sweet smell of melted wax - even now it triggers this intense feeling of joy and recognition. Looking back, I think it was my first experience of transforming something discarded into something alive.’’
We spoke with Lisa about transformation, play, and the poetry of ordinary things, exploring the objects, cultural influences, and studio rituals that inform her practice.
