K-9_topology: Hybrid Family n°5

The photo performance was
executed as part of the residency
in Berlin (January 2016), and has been an outcome of a living in a gallery, along with a photographer Manuel Vason (for a week) and with the artist ́s two dogs Byron (Scottish Border Collie) and Ada (Icelandic Shepherd) for three months. The latter she has been breastfeeding as a public performance. As an outcome of this photo performance, the sensitivity emerged out of a non-verbal communication between a human and an animal, a kinship grown out of a common need to strip away the surface layers of reality, a desiree to submerge the artistic gaze into a realm of pure primordial impulses. The statement of the project is about becoming-animal during a three months process through which the artist was transcending herself into becoming a surrogate mother to a dog.
