About

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE is a fundamental question that enables a multiplicity of voices and marks a discourse in perception. Artists evoke spaces and time in order to make their concepts visible and to take on a transformative level. Their attempt to illustrate the perception of identities often moves beyond collectively repressed social structures. Under these circumstances, their productive processes begin to play with the possibility of differentiation of identities. The project IF YOU ARE NOT A BIRD investigates and brings into question the subjective concepts of the unfixed and a multiplicity (cultural, social & political) of self. To speculate and question about being a bird may appear paradoxical and absurd. But this attempt enables us to explore boundaries and give rise to transformation in different states of selves. What would you do if you were a bird?
