Filip Borelli is a Croatian artist who deals with research into the interaction of light, sound, movement and music. He graduated from the Economics Faculty in Zagreb, but since 2009 has worked as performer, musician and author of luminous concepts. He acquired his artistic experience entirely in his family setting, but in addition he was a member of KSET, the club of students of electronics and computing, up to 2013, being engaged in lighting, acting and photography; in the Medika Hall for Performance Art, he acquired circus artistes’ skills and took part in numerous productions; in the Zagreb Dance Centre he learned contemporary dance techniques in the class of Ognjen Vučinić and took part in several years of the Centre’s productions.
He has been into music since 2009, when as part of the ensemble Skroz Over he released the song Cross Over, broadcasted on Croatian Radiotelevision. He is a member of the music stage ensemble Acid Carrots & Parsley Man, and of the avant-garde group Beat Busters of Zagreb, which uses new technical approaches in its music. In 2017 at Sound Art Incubator in Zagreb with Damjan Blažun, Borelli exhibited the interactive sound installation XYZ and in the same year produced the solo experimental project Inox Aquasonik, which includes music research into stainless steel vacuum flasks with water.
As actor he works with Filip Filković Philatz and Zdenko Bašić in music videos for Diyala, Gibonni, Manntra, Nina Romić and Vatra. He also took part as costume designer and performer at the Lost Theory Festival, where in the performance Magic of Creation, produced together with the Hoka Hey group of Zagreb, he joined light with sound for the first time.
