It Keeps Repeating is a project that examines how identity is formed within systems that organize visibility, behavior, and belonging. Repetition as a structural condition.
Drawing from Balkan contexts in which queer existence is often tolerated only if it remains "within four walls," the project reflects on privacy as conditional space. Permission and restriction coexist. Intimacy does not suspend regulation, and visibility remains negotiated. Religion, institutional authority, and sexual culture are not treated as separate spheres but as overlapping systems that position and interpret the body. Identity emerges through repetition within these structures, never fully outside them.

Alongside the installation, an electronic dance album of the same title extends these questions through sound. Moving between tension and release, rhythm and suspension, the sonically exploring the duality between religion and sexuality through club-oriented production. The dance floor becomes another site where devotion and desire intersect, transforming conflict into resonance.

Ognjen Gligorijevic is a Serbian artist and (type) designer based in Amsterdam, working across installation and sound.
