Natalie Feldsman
My work focuses on creating spaces and places where there is no narrative sequence, where past-present-future encounters take place. I am looking for the range of these realities, the intersection of primordial consciousness, intuitive versus the "logical" conception of contemporary reality. For example, in prehistoric cave paintings, man believed that everyone had a spirit: nature, rocks, animals and humans. As humanity evolved, religions placed humans above animals and above nature.
I like to think what we will leave humanity of the future, what fossils they will find and what they will think of us. I look at our time from the outside: our habits of consumption, violence, human and nature relations, and our relationship with death and our own humanity.
Like an archeological excavation, in my work process I produce the "soil" layers and slowly reveal the findings below. The actions that characterise my work process are smearing, cutting, engraving, stripping, massing and slowing down. In this space, an apocalyptic aspect is created - futuristic, earthly materialism coupled with foreign and neon colors, through which I seek to create a multi layered, hyper-colored experience involving an encounter between light and darkness, between natural and synthetic and between the alien and the familiar.
