[ISEA2022] Artist Statement: Ariadna Parreu — Epiphany

Artist Statement

La Capella, June 9-August 28, Artists from Barcelona Producció. Public event.

Epiphany is a project that spreads like wildfire. The app of the same name to deeply touch what we are always touching. The sculptural pieces are made of materials related to the screens of mobile devices, mirrors and costumes that were the plastic research for Instagram filters.
Plasma as a mutable and transitional state. Ghost like an ectoplasmic sheet, between mucus and appearance, and cell phone screens are often greasy.

App: Epiphany, Unity, 2021.
Sculptures: Phantom plasma, mixed media. 2021
