Come On Out of the Dark: a memorialization of the ubiquitous things of the everyday environment, is a project that documents ubiquitous domestic objects that live in a place of darkness, silence and powerlessness.
The series make a feminist statement by questioning the objects' gendered associations through a multidisciplinar approach: interactive archival system, concrete poetry, performance and sculpture.
2020 - 2021, mixed media
The project’s archival system consists of concrete poetry, collages, photographs and connect-the-dots worksheets The interactivity of the archive allows the viewer to decipher language and puzzles that relate to judgmental situations and environments. The archive comes in a pack with a red pencil and a pair of work gloves. The work gloves are meant to be worn at all times when looking through the archival materials.
Along with an interactive archive, one edition of 15 sculptures of hammers and one edition of 5 paper dolls were made. Paper dolls are a part of a performance approach: photographs of an artist, her clothing and objects were printed and cut out. The viewer is given a set of clothing, which can be mixed however they like.
