Yoana Tuzharova

Yoana Tuzharova takes an unusual approach to connecting space and time in her works. Interacting with the exhibition venue, the artist creates complex installations and mobile objects that intentionally intervene in carefully selected contexts. Each of her works is a Gesamtkunstwerk, uniting different media, and is intertwined with the mundane in a dynamic and confusing way. In her art, Tuzharova transfers contemporary global processes into two- and three-dimensional structures and objects. She uses statistical data and diagrams on social, economic, and environmental developments – published by the World Bank, the UN, or UNESCO – to design abstract-looking ornaments. To create these, she combines digital production methods with electronic media and traditional materials such as wood, ceramics, paper, sound or light, thus calling into question the boundaries between virtual and physical reality, between the present and history, the individual and society. The catalog will be published as part of the GWK-Förderpreis 2022 and to accompany the exhibition at the Gustav-Lübcke-Museum in Hamm (13.11.2022 to 12.02.2023).
