Štimac first gained attention for his serial photographic series titled "Recoil" (2005), a project made in collaboration with gun enthusiasts at unregulated shooting ranges in California and Missouri. Other subjects from this period include; lawn mowing, unattended campfires, urine-filled bottles at the roadside, and cars peeling out. In 2009 Štimac collected
ephemera on plexiglass plates attached to the grill of his car between destinations, then scanned them at road-side with a flatbed scanner. This work became a series loosely referred as "Driving Photographs" and served as a departure from his traditional photographic practice. Each individual image is titled with the point and destination. In recent work, Štimac continues to investigate myth and reality of American identity through its landscape, cultural traditions, folk heroes, and histories, with subject matter including the
Golden Spike,
Old Faithful, the
Flag of the United States, and America's Independence Day (the 4th of July). == Exhibitions ==
