Petra Kubisova
My practice is focused on the photographic image; I use video, installation and interventions to question and destabilise photographic representations. I scrutinise the relationship between photography and memory and how the process of forgetting/remembering can be captured and translated into visual form. As we dream and remember in fragments, never in full images, fragmentation has become key to my investigation. This fragmentation accompanies innovative usage of light, transparent materials and archive family photographs, as well as projections (on barn, curtain, smoke, etc), reflections, strobe, sound, darkness, interactivity, illusions and movements within stillness. I recurrently question whether the photographic image is capable of presenting a certain truth when it seems impossible to capture the essence of the subject or object being photographed.
