Description
About artist: Dorota Konchevska is an audio-visual artist living and creating in Ireland for the past 23 years. Her work engages etching, mixed media installations and cross genre projects. In her recent work she is aiming to enhance artistic expression and contemporary take on the human body and its ephemeral, fragile qualities. She hold a degree in Art from IADT and MA in Art from Limerick University
About artwork: In these works, my intention is to depict human bodies that are shot within scenarios staged by myself. I am trying to turn simple actions into enigmatic rituals, which evoke the human body’s emotional fragility. The environment in which we are born to forms each “self”. Then we have the individual self and a societal self… I’m discussing historical events, social structures, intertwine my own personal events and the visual realm in which they were appearing in the past reality. The architecture, fashion, societal mood. I’m trying to bring the attention to the appearance and disappearance of those realms. Very little what I’m reminiscing are still in this reality. Quite a lot are dug out of my old analogue phototrophs of some long time gone ancestry. physically that person or building or that oppression or political climate is long gone. My final and biggest quest is the question of impermanence and a negotiation of weather “it was all worth it”. Perhaps it’s all as well a little self-therapy. I reference the following artists as a basis for the dialogue my work; George Batille , Early Dadist work Hannah Hoch, Man Ray photos and research of the school of Paris. Hans Bellmer and dislocation of the figure that led me to Louise Bourgeois, Jan Saudek , Samuel Witkin and the works of Man Ray.
