The author's personal experience of the current reality shaped by politics, economics and ecology is important, through which she tells about the condition of the world and man. She works, mainly in traditional black-and-white photography techniques, makes experiments in camera-less photography, as well as site-speccific art installations.

ECHOES

Photosensitive installation, luxography

Installation, prepared specially for the Echoes exhibition, is in line with the artist's experiments with light-sensitive material to date, directly drawing from the tradition of concrete photography. This minimalist composition is made of 35 modules that create a performative image, its exposure taking place throughout the entire duration of the exhibition. The "calender" thus created is based on a long-term chemical reaction, and is a radical example of a self-reflexive non-camera photography, treated as an abstract form of recording the passage of time.
