In her work the animal becomes an accomplice to the operation of bewilderment of the man-managed, ordered and controlled reality. It is the intermediary to the re-emersion of our wild nature. I often make reference to the idea that our culture has associated to a determined species, together with the gestures that link us the most to the animal sphere, such as those connected to food or sexuality. The results are installations which aim is to make re-emerge the irrational part of everyone, where the opposites ‘false’/’true’, ‘organic’/’inorganic’ live together in a small tragicomic theatre, proposing different faces of the everyday life through an unexpected out of the rules language. The grotesque joy comes out in this pagan dimension of the nature where the characters are plunged.
Merano arte and the ES contemporary art gallery inaugurate a exhibition dedicated to art, games and videogames and to dynamics which arise. The exhibition is curated by Valerio Dehò and realized in collaboration with Treviso Ricerca Arte.
