STATEMENT

Corporality, passing away, fragility of the body expresses the fundamental matter of her art works. I am the body – that means – I am mortal, I will passe away, I am changing, I feel. The body is matter susceptible to the suffering, impulses coming from the outside. Topics which are fundamental for her while creating are body, death, memory, movement, emotions.

Past exhibition

The post-mortem and traces of corporeality

In my exhibition “The post-mortem and traces of corporeality" carry out an analysis of post-mortem and traces of the human body in relation to space and objects after the deceased. I search and try to find the traces left on the objects by the human body. I analyze the fates and stories of artifacts that were left behind and the relatives retained as memories of the deceased. I observe the post-mortem spaces which are about to be liquidated. I notice that after the death of the loved ones, the objects left behind are perceived in a completely different way. The space after the deceased person seems, as never before, unusual and intimate. Nothing recalls memories like an object that remained. I analyze them. In my artistic work, I emancipate these objects and extract them from obviousness. These objects recall one of a kind stories after the dead ones. Furthermore in my dissertation I present the relationship of an elderly man with a technological object. I consider how human traces change in reference to the virtual world. My artistic works are illustrated by both the post-mortem objects and virtual ones, that does not carrry human traces anymore. The artistic works are presented at the exhibition named: “The post-mortem and traces of corporeality" in the form of objects, enlarged photographies, animations and video works.
