Andrea Abalia, Spain


Andrea Abalia, Spain

Andrea Abalias Arbeit basiert auf Bildern von beunruhigenden Szenen, überwiegend inspiriert von Romantik, ängstigenden Märchen, ihrem eigenen Leben und ihrer Kindheit und den Theorien der Psyche, insbesondere der Freudschen Traumdeutung, wie sie im Surrealismus zu finden ist. In Collagen und Gemälden erforscht Andrea die Ausdruckskraft und psychologische Bildhaftigkeit der Figuren (fast immer Mädchen) durch Konstruktion einer theatralischen Szenerie. Der Kontext der Figuren sind psychologische Orte mit magischen, surrealen und unheimlichen Atmosphären. Andrea sucht nach zeitgenössischen Entwürfen der weiblichen Gestalt, die sie aus tiefgründigen Emotionen wie Besorgnis oder Angst entwickelt.

The photographs, found in one specific context (street market), are taken out of it; giving them a completely new identity based on the existing object. They are re-signified in new units. The antique photographs act like a bridge; a bridge that prevents us from getting stuck in just one of the two worlds that coexist in this one, and that allows us to integrate them both, get the parts together, break the barriers. The photographs stand as representatives of the real world, the rational, material, the tangible, conscious world. They represent that part which is fixed in us, that stable center, those basic things that man can always return to and which demonstrate the fact that one is and exists. And by modifying them (paint, collage or embroidery are used as means to do it) the other world is introduced, that one which cannot be seen with the eye: the world of the unconscious, that internal world where an infinite number of fantastic dreams and mysterious thoughts can be found.

A practise concerned with exploring notions of futility, perception, subjectivity and femininity is extended in Berlin. An open studio situation provides a means to display the workings of such a practise in a new location, as a pseudo laboratory containing video and ephemeral installation.

Life’s primal dichotomies such as birth/death, pain/joy, war/peace, have for many years unfolded as the main sources of inspiration in my art. Through a continuous process of inquiry, I combine different techniques and materials such as paint, clay, wax, and textiles among others, to reflect on their vast and mysterious meanings from ancient civilizations to today’s cultures.

" ..the moment the actor dresses up and speaks with his own tongue he is entering the fluctuating territory of manifestation and existence that he shares with the spectator"(Peter Brook,1968). This piece of video art explores where performance meets actuality; what we see, what we believe.
