Her work interrogates relationships between history, memory and evidence, focusing on how narratives are constructed and manipulated through the lens of subjectivity. Institutional and poetic languages are her media. Through text, performance, installation, artist’s books and by relying on the participation of performers and audiences, the artist engages with archival materials (books, photos, videos and public records), strip them of context and rearrange them into compositions which convey the semantic plasticity of cultural material and data, putting pressure on the fragile bonds between language and meaning. Whatever the final form a work takes, each piece is an instrument of memory and the possibility it holds to explore issues of cultural specificities and political climates.
