Artist Statement:
An important element of my work is the intersection of violence, control vis-à- vis caress and eroticism.
I observe this ambivalent relationship as characteristic for the Western view of the body, which makes it an object of fantasies, perversions, erotic role- playing and medical procedures.
To create spaces for discussion on taboos around gender, sexuality and reproduction, I use objects: medical artefacts, fetishes, elements of BDSM practices. I transform them into animated characters or objects mediating the stories, which allow to enter the hidden domain of erotic fantasies and practices; obstetrical practices and medical laboratories; get under the skin of bio-political reality.
Animation, photography and film become the means of penetrating these zones, as well as the surfaces where touch and sight are played out.
The figure of an objectified body, or of a body changed into an object, allows me to draw how trans, queer or pregnant bodies become a hybrid space: the host of the most intimate,
and, at the same time, the subject of public and political discourse.
