Sofi Żezmer

Peripheral Vision

Sofi Żezmer's multimedia artworks examine how we constantly transform information through the changing focus of our attention and explore the limits of our perception. The artist is less interested in the individual objects she uses than in their interplay within the resulting networks of associa-tions. Her works visualize this process and question the concept of absurdity inherent in the idea of "extreme normality".

In her sculptures, installations, photographs and collage-drawings, she confuses common interpretations and allows the contrasting feelings of strangeness and familiarity to merge. Citations from macro and micro worlds exist side by side, obscure details of conventional reality are often so isolated that they are no longer perceived as part of a larger context, but stand on their own. Her works often contain linguistic elements that oscillate in their possible meanings between the concrete and the abstract.
